Thank you so much to Hachette Book Group who have given me three (3!!!!) of these books to give away!
This giveaway is now closed – Thank you 🙂
When Melody Grace McCartney was six years old, she and her parents witnessed an act of violence so brutal that it changed their lives forever. The federal government lured them into the Witness Protection Program with the promise of safety, and they went gratefully. But the program took Melody’s name, her home, her innocence, and, ultimately, her family. She’s been May Adams, Karen Smith, Anne Johnson, and countless others–everyone but the one person she longs to be: herself. So when the feds spirit her off to begin yet another new life in another town, she’s stunned when a man confronts her and calls her by her real name.
Does this sound super fab or what?

Hmm good question. I’d be good almost anywhere but highly populated cities. Maybe somewhere up in the northeast.
I want to leave the country. Call me Giovanna and send me to Italy.
bgcchs(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would want to be Andrea.
And I would want to be relocated to the Pacific Northwest. 🙂
Well, if I told you my name and where I’d be located, where’s my protection?!?!? I’m probably good with the upper Midwest, though. And maybe Anja? But Heather’s a better witness protection name.
LOL
😀
I would change my name to Elizabeth Johnson.
I would like to be relocated to Roatan, Honduras
Do I have to stay in the U.S.? I’d like to live in Sicily — I’ll be called Katerina. 😉
I would like to live in Kamloops, B.C. and my name would be Sarah or Martha.
Hmmmm.
My name would be Melanie and I would be living somewhere in England. I can adapt well! 😀
My name would be Karin Larson, and I would live in Boston, MA

Somewhere in Italy! 🙂 I’d love to restart my life there.
My name would be Eleanora. It’s Italian for ‘the other or foreigner’
My name would be Margarita, and I would live in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
My name would be Annaliese and I would live in Italia.
If I could change my name, I would want my name to be Francis. Except that’s my middle name, so it probably wouldn’t be too hard to find me.
I would want to be in London or Paris, another city in another country, so I can see the world from there.
Even if I’m living in fear, at least I’ll be living.
This book sounds great. :]
I’d be Debbie Olson and live in Florida.
Hmm .. Nice question! I would be Aicee living in .. erm… Malaysia? =))
I think I’d be named Jane Handel (a nod to a piano playing best friend) and be placed somewhere similar, but a smidge warmer, like Dallas. Looks like a great story, I really like the cover with that long road going off in the distance.
I would be Charlotte and live in Paris next to a bakery.
I think I would want to be named something pretty like Lily or Natalie and I would want to live somewhere really warm and tropical…where it wasn’t stifling hot and there was a salty ocean breeze blowing on my hammock all night while I stared at the stars and drifted off to sleep…anyone know where I can find that place? 🙂
I’d be Susan Turner and my new home would be Aruba.

I like to imagine, for some reason, going to some cold small town, maybe in Alaska (but where lots of vegetables would be available) or Saskatchawan.
And I guess I could be Addy Triphandapalopolous..
Addy, because it’s close to Audrey, and I love it. Triphandapalopolous because it’s the last name of one of my best friends, and most people can’t say it, and I think it sounds cool.

I’d live someplace warm, hawaii or California and my name would be Kaye Scarpetta
I’d pick a very generic American name (since I have such a long one right now) – maybe something like Amy Smith. I’d like to be located somewhere in Vermont – I spent 4 months there back in high school and love how beautiful it is.
I would be Hailey and live in England.
Id want to be named Lore and be off to Egypt. 🙂 I love this question!
