Discuss Before I Go To Sleep

by S.J. Watson "As I sleep, my mind will erase everything I did today. I

will wake up tomorrow as I did this morning.

Thinking I'm still a child. Thinking I have a

whole lifetime of choice ahead of me...."

Memories define us. So what if you lost yours

every time you went to sleep? Your name,

your identity, your past, even the people you

love - all forgotten overnight. And the one

person you trust may be telling you only half

the story. Welcome to Christine's life.
