Synopsis
Emily Chen-Sanchez es una adolescente asiático-latina que busca la escapatoria perfecta al castigo que le han impuesto sus padres. En cambio, encontrará un verano inolvidable. Emily quiere un poco de libertad. Está castigada porque una vez más obtuvo malas calificaciones en la escuela. No se siente dueña de su tiempo, ni se siente tan perfecta como su hermana mayor. Su madre tiene cáncer y eso ha aumentado la tensión en la familia.
Su escapatoria es conseguir un trabajo que la saque de casa durante el verano. Así que se pone muy feliz cuando la interesante, sofisticada y supersureña señora Granucci la contrata como su acompañante. Pero cuando Granucci acusa falsamente a Emily de robo, la joven se da cuenta de que la mala memoria de la señora no es un hábito, sino algo más complejo. La joven tendrá que tomar una decisión que cambiará la vida de muchas personas.
In search of a summer escape from her overbearing family, an Asian-Latine teenager becomes the mentee to a chic elderly woman. But as her mentor's memory starts to fade, the teenager is confronted with a choice that may jeopardize their friendshipEmily Chen-Sanchez can't do anything right. She's been grounded for a bad grade; she can't stop fighting with her perfect older sister; everyone's tense because her mother's just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer; and she hasn't spoken to her best friend Matt in two weeks, four days, and about seven hours (not that she's counting). Her new summer job is the perfect escape: as companion to an eclectic, lively, Super Southern elderly lady, Mrs. Granucci.
All Emily has to do is help Mrs. G "remember" her likes, dislikes, anything Mrs. G has a habit of forgetting, even Emily's name. Emily feels closer to Mrs. G than everyone else until Mrs. G falsely accuses Emily. The betrayal will have ramifications for them both, and Emily must make a decision that will change their lives forever. The Summer I Remembered Everything is a story of longing for an escape, finding yourself, caring for someone with an illness, and learning that sometimes the right decision is always the hardest.
