Asking questions such as "How much of your past do you remember? How much do you remember exactly as it was, and how much do you recreate based on fleeting memories and photographed moments?" the short stories and poems in this anthology explore the idea of of writing and rewriting memories based on the little that we do remember. From childhood to old age and every age in between, this collection reflects on what happened and what if? A group of aspiring writers, the contributors range from students to journalists to teachers; from novelists to poets to dramatists; from Welsh to Irish to Canadian.

Laura Thompson writes about life - and is unapologetic in what she captures. She is a sexual assault survivor, has navigated near death traumas with her daughters' medical issues, and possesses the ability to capture what is true, honest, and worthy.
True to form, her writing will resonate powerfully with other survivors and with anyone who knows a survivor - because she embodies the word.
Thompson has worked in nonprofit administration for seven years. She and her husband, Edward, have three children: identical twin daughters, Jane and Claire, and son, Stephen. They reside in the Lowcountry of Charleston, SC.
