I’m Jennifer Marie Nuñez—a writer, mother, and storyteller shaped by two homes: the Dominican Republic and Washington Heights, New York City.  My debut novel, in case she forgets again, is a blend of memory and imagination. It’s rooted in real stories; some mine and others passed down through my family.  I wrote this to preserve the stories told to me and to capture those left unsaid, the ones I had to imagine. I started writing because I didn’t want these stories to disappear. I wanted to honor where I come from and reflect on who I am, especially as I navigate what it means to lose the women who raised me.

 

​This book is for anyone asking hard questions about identity and what survives after silence. It’s for people who carry things they can’t explain, who believe in the thinness of the veil, who feel the pull of something larger, people who fell the ancestral pull, the spirits, and that which we can't see.

If you’ve ever felt the need to return to a place, a memory, or a version of yourself that no longer exists, then you’re in the right place.
