FICTIONAL SAMPLE — ALL PEOPLE AND RECORDS INVENTED

My Favorite Childhood Memory

Finn could not date the afternoon at the pond. He remembered being small enough to need help with the gate and large enough to insist he did not. His aunt’s recollection supplied a different detail: the lunch she had packed in a tin. The page gives each memory its speaker. It does not add a precise year or weather report to make the scene appear more certain than the family can support.
