“Wasn’t memory, that bully and oppressor, supposed to become soft and spongy?”

What if you found out that many of your memories were either wrong or incomplete? Maybe you would have the same disconcerted feeling that I had when I first saw the cover of this book.  It’s a picture of someone diving head-first into a large body of water – but it’s upside down. Wait…what? Things aren’t what you’d expect?  It’s a perfect cover photo for a novel about three men who thought they knew each other well for more than 40 years . . . until a shift in perspective changed everything. This book is about learning to see things differently.
