The Reminder

Daisy, otherwise known as Daze, hears her dead mother's voice. Sometimes it's because of her dad, who likes to watch old home movies when he can't sleep. Sometimes it's because of her brother, who was too young to remember, and needs to be reminded by looking at photographs and watching videos. Sometimes it might just be her mind trying to work out what her therapist would call "issues".

But this time, it's none of those things. Daze has just broken into her father's industrial robotics lab at the university where he teaches and discovered his latest secret project: a lifelike replica of her mother's head. It looks like her, it talks like her, it even smiles and moves just like her. And even though Daze knows it isn't her mother, it's the next best thing. Or is it...?

Once again author, Rune Michaels, plunges headfirst into the waters where science, family, and emotions meet, and emerges with a powerful and fascinating story about loss that challenges everything we think we know about relationships.
