Memories are one of those things that we hold on to. Our memories can be a source of comfort and pain. But, they are ours and unless we choose to share them, they remain ours. Not so in Lauren Mansy's book The Memory Thief. The book is set in a time and place where memories can be spent like money. The ability to possess other people's memories equates with power, and there are gifted individuals who can steal memories with a simple touch. Etta is gifted, but she has chosen to not use her gift, until her mother is facing death and her mother's memories are set to be auctioned off. Etta is determined to protect her mother's memories, but it means she will have to use her gift to steal other valuable memories.
