Another beautiful story with humanity at its heart." - Amy Beashel

"Uplifting... The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up handles a serious topic with empathy and grace." - Alison Stockham
"I absolutely adored The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up. I loved the dual timeline, it kept me guessing throughout, and I loved the cast of characters around Shelley - the friends and family who helped her find herself and her lost memories again. It dealt with some sensitive issues with care, and I was completely lost in Shelley's world, desperate for her to rediscover her truth." - Clare Swatman
"Intriguing, moving and full of compassion... Will stay with me for a long time to come. In Shelley, Pearson has created a character who represents abused women as so much more than the victims of their abuser. Shelley is funny and brave, she's a friend, a business owner, a daughter, a partner. Her strength shines through from the very first page... Part mystery, part emotional drama and entirely engrossing, I highly recommend you read this book." - Lisa Timoney
