BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP: A NOVEL
By: Waston, S.J.
Christine wakes up every morning in an unfamiliar bed with an unfamiliar man.
She looks in the mirror and sees an unfamiliar, middle-aged face. And every
morning, the man she has woken up with must explain that he is Ben, he is her
husband, she is forty-seven years old, and a terrible accident two decades
earlier decimated her ability to form new memories. But it's the phone call from
a Dr. Nash, a neurologist who claims to be working with Christine without her
husband's knowledge, that directs her to her journal, hidden in the back of her
closet. For the past few weeks, Christine has been recording her daily
activities -- tearful mornings with Ben, sessions with Dr. Nash, flashes of
scenes from her former life -- and rereading past entries, relearning the facts
of her life as retold by the husband she is completely dependent upon. As the
entries build up, Christine asks many questions. What was life like before the
accident? Why did she and Ben never have a child? What has happened to
Christine's best friend? And what exactly was the horrific accident that caused
such a profound loss of memory? Every day, Christine must begin again the
reconstruction of her past. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more
unbelievable it seems. TitlePeek
