I Forgot to Remember: A Memoir of Amnesia by Su Meck

2.0

A really uncomfortable and unsettling memoir, and not one I would recommend. I was expecting a story of "resilience and hope" (via the blurb on the back of the book and my positive impression from an interview I heard on NPR), but instead it was a story of a medical community's gross negligence, a manipulative and emotionally abusive husband, an absent extended family in deep, deep denial, and children who were the innocent victims of the mess around them. Su's ability to mimic and hide her TBI for decades was not inspirational or remarkable to me; it was heartbreaking.
