The Color of Memory

The Color of Memory by Julianne Maclean 2014 Women’s literature

Maclean weaves a story that appears to go in one direction and then takes an abrupt right turn into something unexpected only to fly off into a total surprise. She keeps the reader guessing until the final pages and doesn’t disappoint.

ER nurse Audrey is swept off her feet by Alex Fitzgerald, a firefighter who arrives in the ER with a broken foot along with his best friend David. He flirts outrageously with Audrey and wants her phone number, but she has doubts, and when Melanie, “an old girlfriend” arrives to take him home, Audrey counts her blessings not to fall for the handsome firefighter.

Alex doesn’t give up easily and keeps pursuing her. During the same time, she finds trash on her lawn and her home broken into. Melanie has turned into a stalker. When Melanie burns down her home, she moves in with Alex, and everything seems happy until tragedy strikes, and secrets are revealed.

For writers who have trouble plotting or adding surprising twists to a story, this is a book to read and an author to follow. Each event builds into another, and all the pieces fall into place at the end. I recommend giving Julianne Maclean a read.
