Review of: Jane Doe
When Raven Marks awakens in the hospital, she has no recollection of what happened to her [p. 25]. She finds herself in a rehabilitation center where she begins to heal from both her physical and mental injuries with the support of Gracie, the center’s wheelchair-bound chaplain [p. 44 ff]. After recovering sufficiently to move into a home close to her sister, the memories of being held captive start to return with the exception of the identity of the madman who kidnapped her [p. 89 ff]. Raven must face her fear in order to discover her abductor’s identity and the reasons behind her kidnapping. She is befriended by Hunter, the deputy and self-defense instructor she meets while in recovery [p. 70]. As they work together to decipher the clues, Raven’s faith is tested as she wrestles with feelings of shame and guilt over what happened to her [p. 80 ff]. She discovers that in order to truly heal she has to learn to stop keeping secrets and trust God [p. 169 ff]. Only when she does is she able to move forward with her life and find justice for herself and others. Duncan’s tale of suspense and salvation will keep readers invested in the storyline despite the harrowing scenes in the first few chapters.
