I have heard about New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker for a long time and had a mind to check out his books. But the opportunity never came until Identity, book one in the Eyes Wide Open series.Identity is the story of Christy Snow, a seventeen-year-old, who is seriously disconnected from the people and society around her, with a largely missing past, illustrated in the silver locket she wears that contains nothing but stock photos.It is also the story of Austin Hart, a nineteen-year-old, who is Christy's only real friend. His life consists of the books that surround him, auditing classes at Harvard though he's never enrolled, and the realization he may have a tumor threatening to destroy the intellect he so cherishes.When Christy misplaced her locket she went to look for it at an abandoned hotel basement only to realize her identity has been compromised. But she managed to sneak out and into the hallways of a psychiatric ward. Austin came looking for her. Soon they both find themselves trapped. Christy and Austin are labeled delusional patients with different identities.Where do they go from here? How will they reestablish themselves as Christy and Austin?It is a gripping story with its twists and turns. Ted Dekker knows what he is writing about and how to keep readers on the edge of their seats. It is a good read that keeps you guessing and wanting to read through to the end right away.
