Close Your eyes by Amanda Eyre Ward


Lauren and Alex were typical kids. They loved to have adventures. So one night they slept out in the tree house their father had built for them. When they go into the house the next morning Alex discovers the body of their mother - and soon after their father is arrested. They are now grown up. Lauren is working as a real estate agent and living with her boyfriend Gerry. Gerry loves her and wants to get married but Lauren has trust issues. The only one she knows won't betray her is Alex. Then he tells her that he has been in touch with their imprisoned father - worse yet, Alex thinks he is an innocent man. To make matters as bad as they can get Alex also announces that he is going to the Middle East to work with Doctors Without Borders. Lauren is finally forced to confront the memories from her childhood and to face the truth. I really liked the book- it kept me interested from start to finish!
