Shared Memories Gary L Stuart

Vivian was just seventeen and in a hurry to get out of high school at the start of this series. She had a list of "wants." She wanted to disappear. She wanted her father to get out of the Witness Protection Program and she wanted her younger brother, Vince, to leave her alone. No one had ever seen Vivian and Vince simultaneously. Some thought she made him up. She became living proof you are who you say you are. She wanted to write a book about herself and family secrets.

She finished her book and disappeared. At least she said she did. Along the way, Vince seems to have stolen her soul, along with her identity. That psychological trauma begat Vinessa. She's more worldly, and wealthy, but still afflicted with a mental disorder she cannot fathom. A vile creature they call Julia Baby surfaces after killing her father. Vince thinks he's now in charge and doesn't want Vivian writing any more books. Vinessa knows about both. The hunt is on. They eliminate Julia Baby.

Back in Phoenix, Arizona, after traveling the world, Vinessa is under treatment for Dissociative Identity Disorder. She keeps Vince, her altered state at bay. She allows Garrison, her mental health counselor to move into her home. Vince shows up to save her and himself. He badly underestimates Garrison, who does his level best to eliminate Vivian, Vince and Vinessa. They have no idea how upside down their shared memories are about to become.
