The Once and Future Me — Melissa Pace

Dark Matter meets Girl, Interrupted with a feminist twist in this gripping psychological thriller about a young woman teetering on the edge of reality, perfect for fans of dystopian fiction, time travel, and shows like Black Mirror and Russian Doll

Virginia, 1954. When a woman wakes up on a transport bus to Hanover State Psychiatric Hospital, she remembers nothing of her life up to that moment. Doctors tell her she's Dorothy Frasier, a paranoid schizophrenic committed by the state for her violent delusions. She refuses to believe them, but despite her uncanny fighting skills and ability to pick locks and find impossible escape routes, she has no idea who she actually is and no knowledge of any of the dark things she may have seen and done.

Visions begin invading her reality, transporting her to a dystopian future where she is told of her mission, which could help save humanity. She decides not to tell her doctors about the hallucinations or her doubts of her own sanity -- until she has a visitor. A man whose concerned, loving face she recognizes; a man her doctors calls her husband, Paul.

Now she is unsure of nothing, but she needs answers -- about the future and about Paul and, most important, about herself. To find those answers, she will have to face the darkness inside her as she risks everything in a cat-and-mouse quest for the truth.
