A Strong Female Lead Who Fights Her Own War

What does it mean to truly survive—not just in body, but in spirit? For Deanne Wallace, survival isn’t just about healing from a horrific assault. Instead, it is about reclaiming her narrative, step by step, through a harrowing journey that’s as much psychological as it is physical. In Remember, Remember, William S Grant introduces us to Deanne.

William S. Grant

Deanne is not your typical thriller protagonist. She doesn’t carry a badge, wield a weapon, or possess a military background. But what she does carry is something far more potent—a deeply personal wound and an inner fire that refuses to be extinguished. The story pivots around one pivotal, violent act when an assailant shatters her world and leaves her gasping for air, in both the literal and figurative sense.

But it’s what Deanne does in the aftermath that elevates her to a category of her own.

In the hands of a lesser author, she could have become a stock victim, a symbol of fragility or helplessness. Instead, William chooses a far more complex path. Deanne confronts her trauma with both fierce vulnerability and practical intelligence. She takes on the grueling process of working with the justice system, knowing full well that her attacker might go free due to a lack of visual identification and the unforgiving scrutiny that survivors face in courtrooms.

More than once, Deanne questions whether the legal system will ever truly serve her. Her rage simmers below the surface, not irrational but earned—fully justifiable in the face of repeated reminders that justice can be blind, deaf, and deeply flawed. But what makes her remarkable is that even in her anger, she channels her energy into action. She does her research. She follows leads. She outsmarts.

Eventually, she chooses a path that few would dare walk. It is a road toward confronting her attacker directly, a war she knows may come at a great personal cost. But that meeting is not going to be that simple. When Guy Fawkes Night returns, it will bring a haunting truth that will change the trajectory of this novel, because it will take a toll on a life. But who? Who will be haunted? And who will become the hunter? Would Deanne wait and hope? Or would she fight her own war?

Remember, Remember is a masterclass in suspense. It is a novel that explores the darker corners of the human psyche with chilling precision—and will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.

In short, for those who love both suspense and thrill, Remember, Remember is the perfect and chilling read. Set against a thrilling backdrop of Guy Fawkes Night and its celebration, the amazing and unexpected story follows a deadly incident that will shatter even the strongest of us, as it did with Deanne. By blending elements of psychological suspense with profound explorations of trauma, revenge, and recovery, “Remember, Remember” is a nerve-racking yet touching story that takes us beyond a typical revenge narrative and challenges us to consider what true justice means and whether revenge can ever heal the wounds of the past.

For fans of psychological thrillers, this novel offers an intense, thought-provoking journey that will linger long after the final page.
