The Photographer by Mary Dixie Carter
4.0
Years ago my brother and I were discussing the whole "false memories" phenomenon and joked that some therapist could make a fortune photo shopping clients into photos of happy families. Seeing is believing, after all.
That kind of what Delta does -- she's an popular children's photographer who occasionally enhances her photos if they don't capture quite the right story.
When she takes a special interest in one clients family, she begins to invent ways to become indispensable, but only because she cares about them so much and wants to help them. Unfortunately, Delta is so good at manipulating reality, that eventually even she wonders what is real.
Not much psychology to this thriller beyond the unreliable narrator. I would have liked more background then "I grew up poor . . ." But it is well-written with compelling characters, and I read the whole thing in a few hours.
