One of only two survivors of a plane crash, Nell Slattery wakes in the hospital with no memory of the crash–or who she is, or was. Now she must piece together both body and mind–with the help of family and friends who have their own agendas.  She filters through photos, art, music and stories, hoping something will jog her memory, and soon–in tiny bits and pieces–Nell starts remembering. It isn’t long before she learns to question the stories presented by her mother, her sister and business partner, and her husband. Throughout the book, Nell slowly starts piecing together her memory by listening to songs that make her remember significant moments in her life.

Because the book is all about using music to bring back memories, we’ve created a fun playlist for you to listen to while reading The Song Remains the Same.
