What if the fun of tracking down Suzy''s exes brings up unwanted demons from her past?

On the morning of her mother''s funeral, a letter lands on Suzy''s doormat. She recognizes the handwriting at once. It''s from Johnny, her first love. Enclosed is a CD, a compilation he''s made from the time they were together in the 80s. At once Suzy feels young again and longs to listen, but then the hearse arrives; now is not the time for nostalgia.

After the wake is over, Suzy is returning the teacups she has borrowed to the village hall in the pouring rain when-BAM! -she is knocked down by a car speeding down the country lane. She wakes in hospital, confused and disorientated. Her son, Cameron, and her best friend, Debs, insist she was alone. Yet Suzy''s memory is different. She was with her friends, and there was freezing water all around them... Has she been dreaming? To find the answers, Suzy must get in touch with her past. It''s a journey that involves tracking down several of her exes, facing her inner demons on the way.PRAISE FOR SARAH RAYNER''S FICTION

THE STORY BEHIND THE NOVEL

People often ask if my novels are drawn from experience, and the honest answer is Of course they are. Tracking down your exes online - quite a lot of us have been tempted to do this, haven''t we? So, when Suzy sets out searching for her first love, I thought the thrill might resonate with readers.

Yet this doesn''t mean my fiction is autobiographical. My husband didn''t die like Simon in One Moment, One Morning and the experiences of Suzy in Searching for Mr. Yesterday are not my own. I do, however, have first-hand experience of losing someone I loved, as others will have. I''m also familiar with psychological trauma and fascinated by the human mind. I believe mental health should be taken as seriously as physical health-yet often isn''t. If reading about Suzy''s PTSD helps others grasp what flashbacks are like and how scary reliving trauma on repeat can be, then writing this novel will have been worthwhile. I hope it''s gripping, yet funny and entertaining too. This year, my non-fiction guides on Anxiety, Menopause and Depression have been fully updated. The new edit
