A lot of aspects to this book that I enjoyed. It's about a woman who comes back to her hometown to take care of her grandmother. Cady had an accident when she was 10 and lost her memory. One of the kids she was with had died, who was the bully that tormented her. She was seriously injured and spent 3 years in physical therapy. She wanted to get her memory back, but the other children that were with her thought she was dead and ran away. They didn't want her to remember since they had prominent positions in the community now. It was interesting how things worked out and there was also some funny things that happened. I liked it.
