Parents' Guide to That's Not My Name

THAT'S NOT MY NAME begins with a teenage girl waking up bloody and battered on the side of a road. Fortunately, a police car drives by and finds her. But she has no idea who she is, where she lives, or how old she is. Hours later, a man shows up at the police station claiming she's his daughter, Mary. Wayne Boone has pictures of her on his phone and a school ID. So Mary goes home with him to a fishing cabin in the woods. Hours away, in another town in Oregon, a teenage boy named Drew has become the prime suspect in the disappearance (and probable murder) of his girlfriend, Lola. His explanation, that she simply got out of his car and decided to walk home alone is rejected by almost everyone in town. As Mary settles into a new/old life, red flags begin to appear. She has two frightening allergy attacks after eating eggs and strawberries. Why would a father not know that? Wayne lets her know there are "rules" involving how she should dress and reading "clean" books. And memories are beginning to come back. Breaking curfew, softball games, homecoming, and a strong memory of a mother who, despite what Wayne has told her, is definitely not dead. When Drew finally confesses the truth about what happened the night Lola disappeared, he's able to enlist Lola's best friend, Amanda, and his best friend, Max, to investigate a recent sighting of Lola that came in on a tip line. Will Drew finally find Lola … and could she be Mary?
