The crash is the unravelling of Margaret Holloway. Trapped inside a car about to explode, she is rescued by a scarred stranger who then disappears. Margaret remembers little, but she's spent her life remembering little - her childhood is full of holes and forgotten memories. Now she has a burning desire to discover who she is and why her life has been shrouded in secrets. What really happened to her when she was a child? Could it have anything to do with the mysterious man who saved her life?
Flitting effortlessly between past and present, this is a suspenseful, gritty and emotionally charged journey of an estranged father and daughter, exploring the strength of family ties and our huge capacity for forgiveness.

Review: I really enjoyed how the car crash in Redemption Road spiraled a whole series of unexpected events. Secrets, repressed memories and exciting twists were revealed as the plot plowed on ahead. I had no idea what to expect when I started to read this book and it wasn't long before I just couldn't put the book down! Wow, now I definitely need to read 'The Guilty One'!
