An Invisible Woman
An Invisible Woman
Author: Anne Strieber
Kealy Ryerson has everything a New York socialite could want: wealth, power, a devoted husband and loving children. She was at the salon, getting her hair done, when her cell phone rang and her life changed forever. It was her husband, a high-profile defense lawyer. Run! he said. Take the children and get out of the country. Go no...  more »

Within a half hour he was dead, shot down in the street as he left lunch with the district attorney.

Kealy cannot run. Her apartment is under surveillance, and she can't get her passport or any money. Her credit cards have been cancelled. She's wanted by the police. She and her teen-age kids are on their own, on the streets, with only her wits to keep them alive - her wits, and some surprising new friends. Kealy is determined to discover who has done this to her and her family.

She discovers that she has a invisible advantage--because without her fancy clothes and expensive make-up, her jewels and her hair stylist, no one recognizes her. Not the police, not her husband's partner, not her best friends. A poor woman of a certain age is someone that no one really looks at. But she can watch them. She can follow them. She can use their blindness against them, and walk invisible among the people who want her dead.

While I never really took to the maine character, I ended up really enjoying the book. It got my attention and I ended up reading it in a day just to find out what happened and who the guilty party really was.

As a lot of us know, people can do anything in the face of adversity. This is something Kealy and her children discovered immediately following the death of their husband and father. Readers are taken inside the world of the rich and famous, and then are abruptly tossed on the other side of the tracks along with the main characters of this intriguing book. The people you think can trust, you can't. And the ones you think you can't trust, you should. Kealy learns how to follow her own instincts, as well as those of her children as they unite as a family determined to reclaim their lives. I especially enjoyed the surprise ending.

This is a very good book. In the beginning the woman feels invisible, due to her not being as young as she once was, but later in the book she realizes that being invisible saves the lives of her children along with herself, after the sudden unexplained murder of her husband and the instructions he called her with to run away from all that she and her kids knew.
