31+ Of Your Favorite “Who Am I?” Books
This giveaway is sponsored by Awake by Natasha Preston.
Scarlett doesn’t remember anything before the age of five. Her parents say it’s from the trauma of seeing her house burn down, and she accepts the life they’ve created for her without question—until a car accident causes Scarlett to start remembering pieces of an unfamiliar past.
When a new guy moves into town, Scarlett feels an instant spark. But Noah knows the truth of Scarlett’s past, and he’s determined to shield her from it…because Scarlett grew up in a cult called Eternal Light, controlled by her biological parents.
And they want her back.

Ostensibly normal people with secret, sinister or scandalous pasts. Characters whose lives are turned upside-down when they discover something about where they come from. Amnesia victims who wake up not knowing who they are at all.
