Marylee Simson should have heeded her aunt's dying request
and stayed away from Burlington. She just couldn't. She knew
it held the key to her past and the things she could not
remember. Orphaned as a young girl, her aunt took her in
and gave her the only version of her life that she had. As a
young woman, she could find no records of any of it. It
should be easy enough to search out articles of a couple
killed in a car accident, but there were none to be had. The
only bit of evidence she had was a photograph of two people
her aunt claimed were her parents. No one in town seemed to
know them except by a different name and as a couple whose
photograph appeared in a romance magazine. Stunned, Marylee
turned to the one man she could, Evan Baxter. Against her
better judgement, Marylee took him into her confidence
because of his photography expertise. The same expertise
that had her wondering if she was in danger in more ways
than one.
She felt the presence of someone either following her or
invading her privacy. The police concurred. Her whole life
was being watched by someone who knew her past better than
she did -- someone who knew the story about her parents. She
had to figure out who she was before she could figure out
who he was. Her one reoccurring thought - the mirrors. What
could it all mean? Who could she trust?
SHADOWS IN THE MIRROR takes a young woman on a journey to
find her past and leads the reader right into a mystery
about the present. The characters are everyday townspeople,
and the plot is believable. A great, fast read that will
keep you all fired up.
''Never go back to Burlington!" Those were the dying words
of the secretive aunt who'd raised orphaned Marylee
Simson. Yet to discover who she was, Marylee had to go
back, sure the Lord would look out for her. But learning
anything about her past was proving impossible. Why were
there no records of the accident that claimed her parents'
lives? No records of her parents, period? And who was
trying to stop her from finding out? Someone whose threats
were escalating. Someone close to her, such as Evan
Baxter, the handsome photographer she'd entrusted with the
one clue she had.
