Helpful Score: 3
The blog on the backcover is misleading. It sounds likes she was the victim of a hit and run and was found wandering with just a slip of paper with an address.. I think they had to do that to make the story interesting and not give away too much. It was way too slow to revealing the answers that you already knew by chapter one. It is chopping, goes back and forth. The hammock and the title have nothing to do with this book. I just can buy someone in a mental institution come out with beautiful hair and figure and skin. The whole romance is crap. But the mom has some pretty graphic sex.
Fern Michaels wrote a lot of books try something else she wrote. Besides Paula W just gave away all the forgotten memories in her review.

THIS IS A GOOD BOOK
stunning - as you would expect a Fern Michaels book to be
From Publishers Weekly
There's enough melodrama in Michaels's newest offering (after No Place Like Home) to quench the thirst of soap opera devotees during a daytime drama drought, and the author's fans will likely lap up every word. At 17, Casey Edwards has experienced plenty of heartache and betrayal. Her mother, Evie, neglects her; her stepbrother, Ronnie, sexually abuses her; and her fianc may leave her if she doesn't have sex with him. The day Casey finally fights back and stabs Ronnie in the leg, she miscarries his baby and comes to 10 years later in a mental hospital with no memory of her life before being admitted. Evie, now wealthy and married, greets Casey with little enthusiasm, as do the citizens of Sweetwater, Ga., and she can't help but wonder why. Slowly, she pieces together the lost details of her life with the help of Dr. Blake Hunter, a gorgeous family friend, but there are those who will do anything to keep her memories buried. Michaels's characterizations are far from subtle, and her plot consists of too many highs and lows with very little in between. However, her incisive descriptions of Southern life (and the mannerisms that separate the wealthy from the working masses) will impress, even if the conventional romance between Blake and Casey doesn't.
