The Other Side: Melinda's Story
by Starr Smith
Melinda's family is dead, killed for information that is hidden deep within her mind. Her father tries to warn her from the 'Other Side' that she is in danger from the killers who want what only she can give them.
Committed to Skyview Haven, she must determine if the 'Other Side'
truly exists or if it is a trick of her heart and mind. With time running out
Melinda must determine who she can trust. Is it the ghosts of her family, a boy
who may not be who he appears to be, or the doctor who is determined to cure
her? Can she figure out the truth before it is too late?
Excerpt:
It
was all I could do not to shake her from her insanity. Melinda is a nice girl,
one who can possibly have a future. However, she’s stuck in the past no matter
how much she thinks she’s living in the future.
And
it’s the past I’m interested in. She talks constantly about this paranormal
subject. Her father’s dead. Then he isn’t. Then Beth is. I shake my head in
confusion. It’s all so strange and not what I expected to run into when I took
this assignment. But there’s no way I can stop now. Not yet.
Melinda
also said she told her aunt and uncle everything and they insisted she needed
help. Just what did she tell them? If it’s the same from the police report,
it’s nothing that’s going to aid in getting Melinda to recall everything. But
maybe they know more than everyone thinks.
When
speaking to Dr. Allcott about her aunt and uncle, he indicated they won’t come
back to California to see Melinda until she’s completely healed.
And
healing begins with remembering everything.
