Hi! I’m Amanda Michelle Brown,
author of “The Memory Jumper”
To keep her mind-altering powers a secret, Adelaide lives in an underground safe house with her narcissistic mother Fawn. Together they sell her illegal Memory Jumping abilities for profit—but when Adelaide decides to break, Fawn’s grip on her life only tightens.

- do self-portrait photography,
- kill plants,
- and watch Seinfeld.

And through this, I found the most fascinating conversation starter: complimenting people on their jewelry and asking about the story behind it. Here’s the thing: Jewelry takes…
REBECCA // codependency, relatableness, moody mansion, and a rich husband
