How to Be Remembered

by Michael Thompson Narrated by Lewis Fitz-Gerald

Overview

Some lives are simply unforgettable ...
On an ordinary night in an ordinary year, Tommy Llewellyn's doting parents wake in a home without toys and diapers, without photos of their baby scattered about, and without any idea that the small child asleep in his crib is theirs.
That's because Tommy is a boy destined to never be remembered.
On the same day every year, everyone around him forgets he exists, and he grows up enduring his own universal Reset. That is until something extraordinary happens: Tommy Llewellyn falls in love.
Determined to finally carve out a life for himself and land the girl of his dreams, Tommy sets out on a mission to trick the Reset and be remembered. But legacies aren't so easily won, and Tommy must figure out what's more important-the things we leave behind or the people we bring along with us.

Editorial Reviews

AUGUST 2023 - AudioFile

Narrator Lewis Fitz-Gerald adds a profound sense of loss and despair to the forlorn character of Tommy Llewellyn. The magical realism of Thompson's take on identity harkens to the best of "The Twilight Zone." As Fitz-Gerald describes the details of the mysterious "Reset" in a tone of wonder, it dawns on the listener just what's happening. The universe erases every detail of Tommy the day after his birthday. He must rebuild his life each year. This might be a blessing in some ways, but what happens if you fall in love and the object of your affection can't remember ever meeting you? Fitz-Gerald's narration adds urgency and a sense of hope as Tommy moves toward an emotionally uplifting conclusion. R.O. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
