I thought it was called Time and Again, although I'm not sure, and I was just trying to remember the name of the author, but I forgot her name and I threw the booklet away by accident. The story was about a woman who loses her memory.

This short story seemed like a frum take-off of the novel "What Alice Forgot". If the author is here ( I do not remember her real life name) I am curious to know her response to that.

Hi! I am the author of that short story and someone brought this thread to my attention. I have never read the book that you referenced--living in Israel, I'm pretty behind in the last ten years of new books. Plus I'm sort of a book snob. I googled it of course, and all I can say is--weird. The idea for this short story was the result of brainstorming at something like three in the morning my time via gchat with my editor, and surprisingly, it still sounded like a good idea in the morning!

Okay, fine, so I am really naive. I admit to that freely. I thought that the OP was letting me know about the weird coincidence, that my story was similar to another book, but someone (not as dumb as me, apparently) said that that wasn't what the OP was getting at at all...

I feel a little sad right now, but obviously you don't know me, so how would you know what I would or wouldn't do? So all I can say is I never intentionally used anyone else's material to write a story/serial/poem and never will.

There. Hope that will be satisfactory.

I am not OP, who was just asking for info, but I am the amother who commented about the story.

I did not remember the author, so hi! I do feel like I know and trust you and am not accusing you of anything. I asked for your response. Could it be your editor read the book? It is a mighty weird coincidence.

I would never imagine her doing such a thing...well, they do say that there is nothing new under the sun, and I do feel like there are no new ideas, not really; just fresh ways of saying them. Know what I mean?
