title: Crashing Down
author: O'Brien, Meg
description: Long ago, Carrie Holt had accepted the legacy of her traumatic childhood, tucking the memories away where they couldn't hurt her. And until now she's succeeded in putting her past behind her. She's a successful writer, on the brink of becoming a bestseller. She has achieved all she set out to.
  
  But Carrie's world is about to come crashing down.
  
  When she returns to her hometown to speak at a writers' festival, Carrie comes face-to-face with the man--the monster--who victimized her for years as an innocent child. A man who has become a prominent television personality. A man who holds a terrifying amount of power.
  
  No longer able to ignore her anger, and fearing he is targeting a new victim, Carrie confronts her tormentor. But in doing so, she unleashes a fury of doubts, questions and dangers, as she realizes her memories are not all that they seem.
