As part of her appeal, her lawyer insists that she write down what happened as she remembers it. The death penalty is a mandatory sentence for murder, and Memory is, both literally and metaphorically, writing for her life. As her story unfolds, Memory reveals that she has been tried and convicted for the murder of Lloyd Hendricks, her adopted father. But who was Lloyd Hendricks? Why does Memory feel no remorse for his death? And did everything happen exactly as she remembers? 650 0 $a Women prisoners $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Albinos and albinism $z Harare $z Harare $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Zimbabwean fiction. 651 0 $a Harare (Zimbabwe) $v Fiction. 941 $a 7 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202014203.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806024949.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180119060209.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170902010703.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418113245.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20160419010334.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20160302063036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3B625F8EE04811E59D6F9BB8DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
