'A female body is washed up on a beach, alive but suffering from memory loss. She settles in a small coastal community begins to make a life for herself while waiting for memory to return. Following partial return of memory Jemima returns to her life as Althea St John but she has changed. The changes lead her to take steps to escape the constraints imposed by her husband. Reason To Believe explores themes of memory, physical, financial and emotional abuse, survival and personal discovery, as the reader follows Jemima/Althea from rock bottom to self realisation and independence.'
