Loud Awake and Lost (289 Pages)

The author of this book, Adele Griffin, has written a journey book. Within these pages, the reader follows Ember's journey to repair her emotions following a horrendous automobile accident. As the reader continues with Ember, her long-time best friend, her over protective parents, and her former boyfriend ( who seems like an absolutely wonderful guy- in spite of his obnoxious family ), and her new boy friend who seems equally wonderful. Ember  had been a dancer and gave it up before the accident. She was also was a talented cook, known for Friday night Follies- where she cooked a meal for her family and friends. The trick of this read occurs almost at the end of the book when the reader is shocked to discover that the new boyfriend is the same as the one who was riding in the front passenger seat when she drove her car over a bridge during a icy rain storm, killing her passenger. This is quite a read and a teary end may be expected.
