Great story of a woman who may or may not have a "past" that looks like it is catching up with her... continuing characters from Lake News... keeps you wondering right up until the end.

AN ACCIDENTAL WOMAN stars a heroine who is impossible not to like and she's determined to be independent though she's wheelchair bound. The books other important character is Heather, who keeps us wondering if she is more than who she appears to be on the surface. It has mystery, drama and romance, something for everyone. I think you will enjoy it. I enjoyed this book because it held my interest and the characters had depth. Debi

Longtime resident of Lake Henry, New Hampshire, Heather Malone has been led away by the FBI, which claims that she fled the scene of a fatal accident in California years before. Poppy Blake, her best friend, is determined to clear her name, while facing past mistakes of her own: she still feels guilt over a snowmobile accident that killed her partner and left her paralyzed. Playing an unlikely role in both women's lives is investigative journalist Griffin Hughes, whose attraction to Poppy keeps him returning to Lake Henry, even as he is the secret reason why the FBI is interested in Heather.

To redeem himself, Griffin sets out to unravel the mystery surrounding Heather and becomes the key to freeing Poppy from her regrets and showing her a rich new future. In my opinion, this is not Barbara Delinsky's best work. There was a lot of discussion of maple syrup making which I didn't understand very well. I give this book a C+!

Poppy Blake is back. Last heard of in "The Lake News". This novel is about life's second chance and the accidents of fate that can set up free....
