About The Charred Woman
Mai Carter has just turned forty. Other than the pain of hitting middle age life is good. She has a good job, good friends, a daughter, Jenny, studying at university, what more could she ask for? There is something missing; her memory. Mai is missing a year of her life. Fifteen years ago there had been a breakdown and a fire that nearly killed her and Jenny, the year that preceded these monumental events is gone but for flashes of memory that come upon Mai in waves or in dreams. That year is locked in a mind safe and Mai can't find the key. Or can she? At Mai's unwanted birthday party, a message comes through on social media. It's from him, an old flame she'd not seen since before the fire, and suddenly the waves come through with increased intensity. She needs to decide whether to leave the past where it is or to build a bridge and discover the truth of her history, a decision that will cost Mai her life.
