You Don't Know Me

Sometimes the secrets we keep to protect ourselves can be our undoing.

To all who know her, Annalise Decker is a model wife and mother. She’s a permanent member of the PTA, never misses a sporting event, and is constantly campaigning for her husband’s mayoral race. No one knows that Annalise was once Deidre O’Reilly, a troubled young woman whose testimony put a dangerous criminal behind bars. Relocated through the Witness Security Program to the quaint harbor town of Deep Haven, Deidre received a new identity and a fresh start, which began when she fell in love with local real estate agent Nathan Decker.

Twenty years later, Annalise couldn’t be more unprepared for her past to catch up with her. When Agent Frank Harrison arrives with news that the man she testified against is out on parole and out for revenge, Annalise is forced to face the consequences of her secrets. Will she run again, or will she finally find the courage to trust those she loves most with both her past and her future?

I love how Susan not only gives us great characters and a story to enjoy, she also gets us involved personally.  She brings up great thinking and discussion questions. Are secrets ever a good thing? How much do we consider the legacy we are leaving for our family?  How far would you go for approval?  The emotion and suspense ramped up that I hardly breathed for the last 1/4 of the book.  One of the messages in this book comforted and encourage me, it was definitely something I needed to be reminded of!  Thanks for another great Deep Haven novel!
