Good question, Amia!

Amnesia can present itself in many ways, including the most severe — the loss of the memory of everything, even speech and physical movement, like walking. But that’s not the way I wanted to present Chase. He memory loss was specific to his identity, recollection of his life, his surroundings, his friends, and even his family. But he was reasonably well, physically, except for the fall from the roof. And his memory for everyday life was pretty much intact, including his school work. His memory loss is related to having done something he didn’t want to have to face.

OK? Thanks for posting. I hope you enjoyed RESTART.                              —–Gordon Korman—–
