THE MEMORY KEY

YA debut thriller set in the near-future where a disease is wiping out memories...

After a bad tumble damages her memory key, seventeen-year-old Lora Mint
discovers she can remember everything. Perfectly. Lora knows she needs to get the device, commonly used to stave off Verget's, an Alzheimer's-like disease, repaired. Yet she doesn't. Because Lora now has vibrant memories of her mother, who died in a car crash five years prior - and these memories suggest that her mother's accidental death was no accident. Determined to uncover the truth even as her damaged key begins disrupting her life, Lora finds herself unable to trust her father, unwilling to stay friends with her best friend, and bewildered when her former crush doesn't seem so former anymore. When all the clues connect to Keep Corp - makers of the memory key - what is one lone girl to do? As her investigation pulls her deeper into the past and closer to Keep Corp, Lora gradually loses sight of the present, putting her future in jeopardy.

Equal parts thriller and coming-of-age novel, written in a voice both gripping and poetic, THE MEMORY KEY explores what happens when we place an unquestioning trust in corporations and technology, and how family and forgiveness are key to growing up.
