Another Life — Donna Anders

Gifted author Donna Anders is a master of psychological suspense--Ann Rule called her last novel, The Flower Mon, "as terrifying as a footstep next to your bed at midnight." Now Anders takes us on a roller-coaster ride of steadily increasing thrills, as a young wife on the run assumes another woman's identity--and perhaps her nightmares....

San Francisco freelance artist Sharon Moore is caught in a living hell. Her abusive husband has made her a prisoner in her own home, convinced her doctor and neighbors she is having a breakdown, and is plotting her "accidental" death. Desperate, Sharon flees to Seattle with her five-year-old son, David. After assuming the identity of "Janice Young," a woman who died in a suspicious fire years before, Sharon's fresh stmt is shattered when she begins receiving death threats--taunting phone calls that mock her every move. Tired of running, and with David ill, Sharon is determined to fight. But she can't be certain if her husband has caught up with her, or if someone is after Janice Young--a murderer who, this time, will make sure Janice does not survive.
