About Drawn from Life by Sarah P. Blanchard:
Emma Harnett, 19, lives in western North Carolina with her volatile cousin Lucy, a frustrated artist with an alcoholic mother. When Lucy’s mother disappears unexpectedly, Lucy flies into a rage, bullying and injuring Emma.
Days later, they argue about who should drive down the mountain for food and supplies: Emma with a broken collarbone; or Lucy, who might be drunk. Their car crashes and three people die. Emma barely survives. Lucy, uninvolved and uninjured, vanishes.
Eight years later, Emma finds peace and purpose as bookkeeper and model for her deceased uncle’s legacy project, Stonefall Art Center. She still struggles with night terrors, physical pain, a speech impairment, memory loss, and the shame of an accidental killer.
Lucy returns, bringing chaos and needing money. Emma decides to bargain with her prodigal cousin: money, for truth about the crash.
Tensions escalate after vandalism at the art center, and suspicion falls on Lucy as Emma tries to learn whether the attacks are related to the crash.
A compassionate detective helps Emma recall fragments of memory. Was Lucy the driver, not her? The investigations require Emma to find courage and a new voice.
Another person may hold a key: Chaz, the son of the woman who died in the crash. An awkward foster-care kid, he’s Stonefall’s new handyman. He keeps a close eye on Emma, whom he remembers from childhood.
When Emma’s questions come too close to the truth, Lucy makes plans to remove Emma from Stonefall.
Emma finally fights back, and in the “accident” that Lucy has orchestrated, it’s she—not Emma—who falls.
With nothing left to lose, Lyssa finally shares the story that absolves Emma of guilt in the long-ago crash. Emma also learns how Chaz, the boy in the background, helped save her life.
Throughout, help comes from unexpected sources: the family lawyer, keeper of family secrets; a miniature schnauzer named for a notorious pirate; and of course the sympathetic detective who helps Emma find her refuge—and perhaps a chance at love.

The woman he seeks, Anna Peteskow, is the one remaining of three power figures in the underworld of the world, enjoying the freedom to influence governments around the globe and eliminate those who oppose her without ever hitting a headline, if you don’t count her understated obituary in an Ohio newspaper.
The ally he discovers has all the power the rest of his people lack; she is Anna’s youngest daughter. If Duncan can discover Anna Peteskow alive, Jennifer Peteskow can attest to Anna’s absence from her family home at critical moments of world events, and if she will do that, others can attest to where Anna really was and with whom. But can Duncan trust this young woman who may be taking over Anna’s operations, could be issuing orders to her operatives as artfully and secretly as her mother once did? Does Jenny, Anna Peteskow’s youngest daughter, know what sinister things her mother has done while maintaining the unflappable appearance of a doting homemaker? Is Jenny Duncan’s enemy, or a hapless fool caught up in a vengeful plot devised by her mother to get to him?
In A WICKED GAME of TRUST (a 4-book series), you’ll be taken into the underworld of the superpowers with Jenny Peteskow. You’ll meet people who control the happenings you see on the news from around the globe and catch a glimpse of where leaders and operatives go when they wish to, or need to, hide from each other. You’ll discover how a commercial jet liner can crash yet remain completely intact, everyone surviving except the two people a man wants captured and delivered to him. You’ll learn what it feels like to fight, yet lose your freedom and completely disappear.
