Amanda is a wonderful story, full of colorful characters and a quick plot. "Amanda" has returned home after 20 years when she and her mother left when she was a child. She cannot prove that she is the real Amanda, and her relatives are all sceptical. Amanda doesn't really care if they believe her or not. She just wants to know why her mother took her and ran so many years ago. Amanda must deal with an unexpected romantic intrest in her family's lawyer and her old friend, Walker. As she asks questions however horrible things begin to happen. A trainer at the stable is killed, Amanda is poisoned, and her protective dogs go missing, and she can only asume they have been taken. Amanda must find out why her mother took her and ran before it's too late.
This was a very good book, that drew me in. The characters are interesting and the plot keeps you guessing. I've read it many times over the years, and if you like suspenseful romances you will too.

Couldn't put it Down!!
New to Kay Hooper, but so far I have always wanted more from the first one. Really liked this one.
While I am familiar with Kay Hooper, this is the first book I've read by her. I liked the outline of the story and it was easy to follow. The ending took a turn I didn't expect, which was interesting. This isn't usually the type of book I read, but I did enjoy it.
This was an awesome book!
ONE OF THE BEST OF HOOPERS.
Enjoyed the book. Not like Kay Hooper's other books but an overall good read just the same.
Amanda's mother ran away with her 20 years ago. Now she is back trying to prove she is Amanda but there are gaps in her memory. Very good book.
A good read!
Another great book by Kay Hooper. Good mystery with a surprising twist at the end.
Kay Hooper is great!

This book is a page turner. She kept me guessing until the very end. I started the book on Friday evening and finished it Saturday afternoon.
Hooper keeps you on tenterhooks altogether too long. Is she, or isn't she? Did he, or didn't he? (Don't want to give too much away) . . . but read the blurb.
From back cover: A spellbinding tale of contemporary suspense that begins with a mysterious homecoming and ends in a shattering explosion of passion, greed, and murder. And all because a stranger says her name is... Amanda.
