Jane Was Here is the latest novel from author, screenwriter and Oscar winning documentary filmmaker Sarah Kernochan.

A mysterious young woman calling herself Jane turns up in the small fictional New England town of Graynier, Massachusetts. She claims a fragmentary memory of growing up in this town, yet she has never been here before in her life. As Jane's memories reawaken piece by piece, they carry her back to a long-buried secret -- that she may be connected to a young girl who disappeared from the town in 1853. Are these memories from a former life?

As Jane presses onward to find out what happened in this town over 150 years ago, strange and alarming things start occurring to some of the town's inhabitants. As Jane unravels her past, things in the present take a dark turn as the townspeople speed forward an apocalyptic event when past and present collide.

Sarah Kernochan is best known for her work as a screenwriter scripting such memorable films as 9 1/2 Weeks, starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger, and What Lies Beneath starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Sarah has also won two Oscars for her documentaries Marjoe, about an evangelical preacher, and Thoth about the life a New York based street performer.
