INNER CHILD
Anne Reynolds is a cold young woman, estranged from her mother, Laura, haunted by the memories of her dead father and terrified of intimacy of any kind. And then one night, while repairing a flat tire she is attacked by a mugger. Severely wounded, she dies on the operating table only to come to back to life five minutes later. However, it soon becomes clear that something inside her has changed. First, there are blackouts, where she says things and does things that the "old Anne" would never do. And then there is the mysterious mass of tissue that has moved through her body, and attached itself to her spine. Anne slowly learns the truth; she was, it seems, one of a set of Siamese twins and her mother agreed to an operation that killed her sister, Marie, while allowing Anne to live. Now the remnants of Marie that Anne absorbed into her body are asserting themselves, forming a second brain and creating a different, warmer personality that is taking over Anne's body. Anne tries to fight the influence of her lost sister, struggling to retain her own identity, but in the end, she realizes that Marie is actually her savior.
