Book Cover & Preview Text
Eleanor Savage was a lost soul. Her past was a mystery to herself, and to all who knew her. Whatever was hiding in some dark chamber of her mind, it still had the power to direct and control her every wakening minute. Only in her dreams could she master her fear of life, and of people. Only in dreams could she catch glimpses of her past, like an shredded photograph, but there were always missing shreds. One day a stranger came to live in her town, a stranger who took an interest in her, and love followed. Although love could not free her mind from its dark past, the strength of this new and unnatural feeling began tugging heavily at the door that was blocking out yesterday's light. To free her mind from the fears that plagued her, Clayton Walker went in search of her forgotten past, and ran headlong into danger. He soon discovered that all Eleanor's fears were not imaginary.

About the Book
When Vernon Fulbright died, all his worldly possessions went to his nephew, Clayton Walker. In dollars and cents the inheritance was small, but in the change it brought to the young man’s world, its value proved incalculable. The story is set in the small upstate New York town of Aldershot. When Clayton traveled to Aldershot to claim his inhertance, three things happened: he decided to settle and work in the peaceful hamlet; discovered his uncle had led a bizarre existance; and he fell in love with Eleanor Savage.
However, their relationship proved a complicated affair. Eleanor had a past, one with a difference. She had moved to Aldershot ten years previous, but could remember nothing from before the move. Although the past had been erased from her memory it still possessed the power to control her life. She feared people, life, even the man she came to love.
Knowing they could never be happy as things stood, Clayton went in search for those missing years, and ran headlong into danger. Someone needed to keep Eleanor’s memory buried and were prepared to go to any length to achieve that goal. Including murder.
