The Summer I Remembered Everything (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780593711422)

In search of a summer escape from her overbearing family, an Asian-Latine teenager becomes the mentee to a chic elderly woman. But as her mentor's memory starts to fade, the teenager is confronted with a choice that may jeopardize their friendship.

Emily Chen-Sanchez can't do anything right. She's been grounded for a bad grade; she can't stop fighting with her perfect older sister; everyone's tense because her mother's just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer; and she hasn't spoken to her best friend Matt in two weeks, four days, and about seven hours (not that she's counting).

Her new summer job is the perfect escape: as companion to an eclectic, lively, Super Southern elderly lady, Mrs. Granucci. All Emily has to do is help Mrs. G 'remember" her likes, dislikes, anything Mrs. G has a habit of forgetting, even Emily's name. Emily feels closer to Mrs. G than everyone else until Mrs. G falsely accuses Emily. The betrayal will have ramifications for them both, and Emily must make a decision that will change their lives forever.

The Summer I Remembered Everything is a story of longing for an escape, finding yourself, caring for someone with an illness, and learning that sometimes the right decision is always the hardest.
