商品簡介
Lucy開始學習掌握家族神祕能力，但父親腦中母親死亡的畫面卻始終無法抹消，隔日她帶著瘀傷和細沙醒來，毫無昨日的記憶。是誰不顧一切要守住秘密？她又該如何拼湊真相，找回被偷走的記憶？
Lucy Miller's family has the unique ability to remove people's painful memories―but Lucy isn't prepared for truths she will uncover in this speculative YA debut thriller, perfect for fans of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
The small town of Tumble Tree, Texas, is known for two things: the blistering desert heat and The Memory House, where folks come from all over to have Lucy's family erase their heartaches and tragic memories.
Lucy's been begging Dad to let her unburden folks since the day she learned why there were strangers lined up on their front porch. So the afternoon he lets her practice on him to try her hand at memory-taking, she's overjoyed. Except something isn't right―the memory won't come loose. And Lucy sees a flash of Mama on the day she died, the memory tinged red with guilt. But why is Dad guilty over Mama's accident?
Then Lucy wakes up with a bruised knee, a pocketful of desert sand, and no memory of what happened. So when Marco Warman―a local boy she's always wondered about―comes to her with a crazy story, she listens. He claims Lucy's dad stole memories from folks working at the mines, breaking the cardinal rule of memory-taking: take only what you're given.
As Marco and Lucy realize their own memories might have been affected, they team up to fill in the missing pieces and figure out what's really happening in their town. The truth is hazy, but one thing becomes certain: there are some secrets people will do anything to keep.
