The Memory Child

When Brian finds out that his wife, Diane, is pregnant, he is elated — he’s been patiently waiting twelve years to become a father. But Diane has always been nervous about having children because of her family’s dark past, and the timing isn’t ideal: Diane has just been promoted, and Brian is being called away to open a new London office.

Fast-forward one year: being a mother has brought Diane a joy she’d never imagined. But things are far from perfect — Brian still hasn’t returned from London, and Diane fears leaving the baby for even a moment. As unsettling changes in those around her begin to emerge, it becomes clear that all is not as it seems.
