《不幸之幸》

For American girl Clementine Haas, finding herself is more than a nice idea. Ever since she woke up in an Irish hospital with complete amnesia*, self-discovery has become her mission.

They tell her she’s the lone survivor of a plane crash. They tell her she’s lucky to be alive. But she doesn’t feel lucky. She feels…lost.

Her lovely nurse is gentle and kind with her, and lets her have a quick moment to prepare herself for meeting her father once he arrives at the hospital to collect her.

She believes he’s her dad — and he seems nice enough from what she can tell while peeking around the corner at him — but she can’t look this stranger in the eye and cause him more hurt with her lack of emotional ties with him. So she takes off*, talking a hospital volunteer into letting her stay with him until her memory comes back and she can be herself when she reunites with her dad for good.

In the process of waiting to find out who she was, she discovers who she wants to be.

Rebekah Crane has a way of writing what seems like easy reading, but weaves quirkiness and serious issues in with a deft hand that makes them have just the right weight when they hit. It is a fun read with romance, family and finding yourself. She is the author of “The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland” and other young-adult novels.(SD-Agencies)
