The Witness by Brown, Sandra. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780446191548.

Kendall Deaton pulls herself and her baby out of a wrecked car, and a mixture of courage and fear gets her to the top of a ravine, where she flags down help. But she doesnt dare reveal her true identity or that of her amnesiac passenger to the authorities. Instead, she plans her immediate escape. Her perilous flight begins. The best public defender in Prosper, South Carolina, Kendall had stumbled upon the towns chilling secret--and her marriage to one of the towns most powerful men became a living hell. Her only hope for survival is to flee. Now Kendall is a terrified mother trying to save her childs life...a reluctant witness who knows too much about an insidious evil...and a woman who knows too little about her own heart.
