I’ve read this book in different language and I don’t remember the original title nor the translated one. I’ve read it probably between years 2012-2016, but it must have been published at least two years before, because I had it from library.

It’s about a 16 years old girl, who returns home after she was missing for three years and she doesn’t remember where she was, she doesn’t even realise that she was gone for so long. She is diagnosed with DID after she is having hours missing from her memory. It is revealed that as a very young child she was abused by her uncle. In the end she remembers that she escaped because one of her alters probably killed the abductor ( it’s unclear ) she also remembers that she had a child with him. The child is now adopted by her neighbors, but they don’t know that she is the mother.

The prologue of the book ( or maybe part of the prologue )is written by girl’s alters, as they are telling the events of her abduction to her.

I hope it’s not too confusing.

Miriam, would you call this a thriller?

Hi, I don't really know... probably not. Focus was more on relationship with her parents, friends and her alters.
You mean where is the book set? I assumed US, but I don't know which state...
I remembered another detail, she was a girl scout.
Thank you for adding details to the header.

You're welcome.
