Synopsis

The Bourne Identity meets Divergent in this action-packed debut thriller with a Katniss-esque heroine fighting to regain her memories and stay alive, set against a dystopian hospital background.Sarah starts a crazy battle for her life within the walls of her hospital-turned-prison when a procedure to eliminate her memory goes awry and she starts to remember snatches of her past. Was she an urban terrorist or vigilante? Has the procedure been her salvation or her destruction?The answers lie trapped within her mind. To access them, she'll need the help of the teen computer hacker who's trying to bring the hospital down for his own reasons, and a pill that's blocked by an army of mercenary soldiers poised to eliminate her for good. If only she knew why…"This is a snap-the-whip story, dark and fast. The sparks of humor in the voice won me over. Bottom line: I think the cocktail of suspense and believable smart-assery adds up to an addictive dose of reader appeal." —Blythe Woolston, author of the William C. Morris Award winner The Freak Observer

About Kristen Lippert-Martin

As a kid, Kristen Lippert-Martin would (mentally) rewrite the endings to TV shows and books when she didn’t like how they came out. In time, writing went from being a way to daydream to being a secret passion. It wasn’t until she became an adult that it transformed into a necessity. She likes to write stories about people who are secretly awesome and just need to find the right circumstances—often difficult—to discover themselves. She lives in Arlington, Virginia, with her obviously awesome family. Tabula Rasa is her first novel. Visit her at www.kristenlippertmartin.com or on Twitter @KLipMart.

Goodreads review by Charlene on November 26, 2024

An interesting mix of essays that I stumbled upon while browsing for an available audiobook on Libby. I like short pieces for listening and most of these were interesting. No themes really other than subjects from the author’s files that he had considered writing about but never gotten around to. I......more

Goodreads review by Doug on December 01, 2024

The amazing and ubiquitous John McPhee has been a mainstay in my reading for forty years. He has been a staff writer at the New Yorker for over sixty years, the author of 30+ books, and a winner and four-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction. He stands head and shoulders with a......more

Goodreads review by Mike on December 28, 2024

The beauty and elegance of John McPhee’s writing is awe inspiring. Tabula Rasa is a collection of projects and unfinished works from his long career. A writer’s memoir of sorts. His inquisitive mind is on full display. I imagined myself spending a leisurely afternoon with him sharing stories from hi......more

Goodreads review by Christie on November 12, 2023

I think Mr McPhee is my favorite non-fiction writer of all, and is a blessing he is still with us. This book does seem to be him wrapping up loose ends a bit, consisting as it does of charming bits and pieces ; and I figure for most people, minor McPhee may be only four stars. Still I am five-star h......more
