Shanna Newsom, a young professor of history at a small Southern university, is a survivor with a past. Skilled and talented, she is too good for the supporting role she has assumed, but staying on script has become essential for her survival. With the arrival of Rand McMurphy, an ex-cop with a hobby solving cold cases, the past begins to catch up with the present, and the threads of her quiet life begin to unravel. Names from the dark past echo in life-changing losses: in a woman’s disappearance from campus and in the tragic events at Manhattan’s Twin Towers. ALWAYS ME is a tense rollercoaster of romance and mystery, an intricately plotted many-tiered story by a masterful storyteller.
