Don't Wake Up: A Novel

Dr. Alex Taylor awakens on an operating table, restrained and disoriented. A masked stranger tells her he is about to attack her before she loses consciousness again. When she regains awareness in a hospital, she reports the assault to police and her colleagues. However, a physical examination finds no evidence of an attack, and those around her—including her boyfriend—become skeptical of her account. Without proof, no one believes her story, and she begins to question her own sanity. Then Alex encounters another victim. This psychological thriller follows a woman attempting to convince others of an assault that left no physical evidence, exploring questions of victimhood, abuse, and how women's accounts are received and believed.
