Carrie Holt has forced herself to forget her childhood, even going so far as to change her name. However, when she's asked to speak at a festival in her hometown, Carrie comes face-to-face with the very man who molested her as a child. Although Carrie wants to kill her tormentor, a television celebrity who is on his way to becoming the next Mr. Rogers, she discovers that Detective Nicky D'Amico has other plans for him. Brutal scenes of child molestation are a part of this unflinching account of one woman's attempts to confront her past. A deft handling of a controversial subject. O'Brien (Take My Breath Away, St. Martin's, 1997) lives in Carmel, CA.--JC, SM Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

It's hard to criticize Crashing Down for being a less than stellar thriller, because its main triumph is the author's ability to confront her own past through her heroine. Like Carrie Holt, I hope that Meg O'Brien has found the peace and happiness that she deserves. Hats off to her for breaking the silence and sharing her experiences in a way that might encourage other women to come forward.
