"Kim Hooper's stunning debut novel sucks you in from the first page and doesn't let you go." Colleen Oakley, author of Before I Go People who knew me think I'm dead. Emily Morris got her happily-ever-after earlier than most. Married at a young age to a man she loves passionately, she is building the life she always wanted. That is, until her husband's business fails and her mother-in-law becomes chronically ill, causing cracks to appear in her marriage. To cope, Emily throws herself into her work. That's when she falls in love with her boss. That's when she gets pregnant. Just as Emily is finally ready to make the choice between the two men, 9/11 splits the world apart. Amid this terrible tragedy, Emily sees an opportunity to remake herself. But fourteen years later, a life-threatening diagnosis forces her to deal with the legacy of what she left behind. Told in alternating time periods, People Who Knew Me is a riveting debut about a woman who must confront the past in order to secure the future.
