Description
When her mother lost her memory, Kati thought she'd lost everything - until the powerful family who targeted her mother turned their sites on her.
When Kati Perez was a child, she lost her mother, Antonia, after a car accident–at least the brilliant, beautiful, and courageous mother she adored. Because of a traumatic brain injury her mother sustained in the accident, Kati’s mother no longer had her memory, her intelligence, and her devotion to justice.
A dozen years later, Kati started her own life as a rock-climbing instructor and counselor. When she learned her “real mother” returned due to a temporary wave of lucidity, she rushed to see her. But the real Antonia is back with a warning–what happened in that intersection so many years ago was no accident. And now the people who tried to kill her are after them both.
There's only one thing they can do: run into the past.
Set against the backdrop of the high desert of El Paso and the ranching families of South Texas, When I Knew You is a page-turning, gripping, multi-generational story of a mother and daughter’s struggle with memory, murder, loyalty, and deceit. This latest Blue Sage Mystery continues the deep and engaging style of storytelling that Prosapio is known for, filled with gut-wrenching emotion, compelling characters, and unexpected twists and turns.
"The author's voice is something special here--direct, fresh, and subversively humorous." -- Oliver Haslegrove at Little, Brown
