Both of Her

Charlotte Hayes is a high-performing PACU nurse whose life fractures after a traumatic accident leaves her with a complete absence of memory from the previous year. Forced to return to work, relationships, and routines she cannot recall choosing, Charlotte struggles to reconcile the person she believes herself to be with the one everyone else seems to remember.

As she attempts to rebuild a sense of identity through therapy and cautious new relationships, Charlotte becomes increasingly unsettled by encounters with strangers who claim to know her intimately-details about her habits, preferences, and behavior that feel entirely foreign to her present self. When a string of violent crimes begins to surface with eerie connections to her missing year, Charlotte is drawn into an investigation that suggests someone may be targeting her.

But as fragments of emotional memory begin to surface-unattached to images or narrative-Charlotte must confront a more disturbing possibility: that the year she cannot remember did not happen to someone else at all.

Blending psychological suspense with character-driven drama, the novel explores questions of identity, memory, and accountability through the lens of trauma and dissociation-asking how well we can ever truly know ourselves, and what it means to live with choices we cannot remember making.
