When Bri and her social media channel team plan to get Bri's mom to conquer her fears, they never imagine it will lead to a horrible accident that will wipe Bri from her mom's life. Amnesia.

This story is a fascinating look at the lengths you might go to to be remembered by the most important person in your life. A different read than much of the YA that's out there, but thought-provoking and moving.

I also loved the setting in Wales, and now I think I need to plan a trip. :) ]]>
