“I have to get back soon,” Iris said, remembering that she had only told Diana she was going for a walk. By now she had been gone long enough to make Diana worry again or even come searching like the day before.
“Please. I can’t explain everything...just follow me.” Iris met his eyes and started to worry. Staying where she was, she watched him. Her feelings were so strong and so new that she really didn’t trust herself with him yet—just as she didn’t trust the voice speaking inside her.
“I really should get back,” she argued, but she still followed him, not wanting to lose track of where he was going and end their conversation on a bad note. Then, she saw the gazebo. They walked up the steps and stood at its center.
“Will you at least sit with me? I will help you find your way back afterwards. Please? I don’t want you to leave and...”
“And?”
“Forget me, again...like I told you yesterday.”
“I haven’t forgotten you so far. Why do I matter so much to you?”
“This would be so much easier to explain to you if you remembered before...”
“Then help me remember. Or, at the very least, tell me if I look like she did. I always wished I could look like my mother—have something from her. I saw a drawing and the ferry man said something about it but...I am still not sure.”
About the Book:Somewhere between falling and flying… there is a girl.
Iris has a secret. She lost her memory eight years ago and never told a living soul. After an asthma attack one night she finds out that her dreams of a strange house on a snowy island may be a memory resurfacing but the more she learns about the past the more she realizes the life she has been living is a lie. As the façade her father has built starts to crumble around her she will have to decide which means more to her; the truth or her life.
Emma Michaels is the author of the ‘A Sense of Truth’ and ‘Society of Feathers’ series. Her goal with her latest YA novel 'Owlet' is to give others what she did not have growing up; a strong female protagonist with asthma. While her previous aspiration was to be a lady knight she realized that not being able to run more than a few feet might become a hindrance so turned to writing instead. Her day jobs include being a cover artist, marketing consultant and silk screen designer.Purchase Links: Kindle buy link - $2.99/ Nook buy link - $4.95/ iBookstore buy link - $4.99/ Smashwords buy link - $4.99/ PDF buy link - $4.95
