I'm Not Who You Think I Am, a gripping thriller unveiled in 1999, delves into the unsettling turmoil of Ginger Shaw, a thirteen-year-old caught in a web of mystery. A peculiar woman emerges from the shadows, insisting she is Ginger's true mother. Ginger, whose childhood was painted with colorful tales of her birth by her parents, never once doubted her lineage. Yet, the woman's relentless pursuit ignites a storm of uncertainty within Ginger, compelling her to question her very essence and propelling her into a realm of fear for her own safety.

Alongside Ginger's personal odyssey, the narrative unfurls a secondary tale, embroiling the town's most esteemed figure in a vengeful crusade against the girls' basketball coach—an adored educator and Ginger's cherished mentor. Suspense dances intricately with themes of loyalty and integrity as the novel weaves its dual threads. These plots dramatically collide at a pivotal school board assembly, where Ginger unravels profound revelations about her identity and the values she cherishes through the novel's riveting and tension-laden journey.
