Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suzanne Farrrell Smith's father was killed by a drunk driver when she was six, and a devastating fire nearly destroyed her house when she was eight. She remembers those two--and only those two--events from her first nearly twelve years of life. Her entire childhood was, seemingly, erased. In The Memory Sessions, Smith attempts to excavate lost childhood memories. Rather than recount a childhood, this memoir creates one from research, archives, imagination, and the memories of others.
