Awakening

Lynn Braden

This was the first book that I had read by Robin Wasserman, but I loved it. J.D. wakes up to discover that she doesn't know who or where she is. She is in the hospital because of injuries she sustained in some kind of explosion. After leaving the hospital, she is placed in Chester Center for Juvenile Services where she is generally ostracized/mistreated by most of the population except for Daniel. Just as she and Daniel start to become friends, J.D.'s mother arrives, tells her that her name is Alexa, and takes her home, but when they get there, nothing seems familiar to J.D. Before long, J.D. starts to question everything including who she really is and where she belongs. This is a wonderful mystery full of suspense and questions that leave the reader wondering right along with J.D. I'm anxious to read the next book in the series.
