“I used to be someone.
Someone named Jenna Fox.
That’s what they tell me. But I am more than a name. More than they tell me. More than the facts and statistics they fill me with. More than the video clips they make me watch.
More. But I’m not sure what.”
Jenna wakes up after being in a coma for eighteen months. She can’t remember anything and her body feels wrong. Her parents are anxious for her to continue to be their precious daughter. When she does begin to remember, it is too much for a normal person’s memory: an entire history textbook, her baptism as a baby in perfect detail. But she doesn’t remember the accident. What happened to her? Is she even human anymore?
