Wondering Who You Are Sonya Lea

Publisher Marketing: In the twenty-third year of their marriage, Sonya Lea s husband, Richard, went in for surgery to treat a rare appendix cancer. When he came out, he had no recollection of their life together: how they met, their wedding day, the births of their two children. All of it was gone, along with the rockier parts of their past - her drinking, his anger. Richard could now hardly speak, emote, or create memories from moment to moment. Who he d been no longer was. Wondering Who You Are braids the story of Sonya and Richard s relationship, those memories that he could no longer conjure, together with his fateful days in the hospital, and through a marriage no longer grounded on decades of shared experience."
