Although her body healed rapidly, her memories never returned. After just three weeks in the hospital, her physicians released Su and she returned home to take care of her two toddlers. What would you do if you lost your past? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdrift in a world about which she understood almost nothing, Su became an adept mimic, gradually creating routines and rituals that sheltered her and her family from the near-daily threat of disaster--or so she thought. Though Su would eventually relearn to tie her shoes, cook a meal, read, and write, nearly twenty years would pass before a series of personally devastating events shattered the \"normal\" life she had worked so hard to build, and she realized that she would have to grow up all over again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn her own indelible voice, Su offers a unique view from the inside of a terrible injury as she \"recounts her grueling climb back to normalcy...in this heart-wrenching true story\" (\u003ci\u003eO, The Oprah Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e). Piercing, heartbreaking, but finally uplifting, \u003ci\u003eI Forgot to Remember\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of a woman determined to live life on her own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451685824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Su Meck, Daniel de Vis\u0026#233;","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917191254197,"sku":"9781451685824","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_abbaee90-d253-4f6f-8321-4a0184d9837d.jpg?v=1687279377","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/i-forgot-to-remember-a-memoir-of-amnesia-9781451685824","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
