What happens when you survive the unimaginable but can no longer remember the person who survived it?

A Stranger In My Own Story is the deeply personal true story of Nichole M. Aranda, whose ordinary life as a wife and mother changed in an instant after a seemingly simple accident set off a devastating chain of medical events.

What began with a head injury became a battle with hydrocephalus, brain surgery, life-threatening infection, and the terrifying possibility that she might not survive. But surviving was only the beginning.

When Nichole awakens one morning unable to recognize her own home, she discovers that entire years of her life have disappeared from her memory. Children have grown older. Friendships have been formed that she cannot remember. People who love her have become strangers. She is surrounded by evidence of a life she has lived but cannot recall and is forced to confront an impossible question:

Who are you when your own memories no longer belong to you?

Told with vulnerability, humor, heartbreak, and determination, The Stranger In My Own Story is more than a story of illness and survival. It is a story about marriage, motherhood, friendship, identity, and the people who hold our stories for us when we can no longer hold them ourselves.

Sometimes surviving means fighting for your life.

And sometimes it means learning how to live inside it again.
