The Woman Who Can't Forget

Jill Price is 43 and has spent most of her life here in Los Angeles, and she remembers everything. Price can remember anything from what she was wearing, her emotions, or discussions she had with someone as quick as a snap of a finger. Scientist say finding a human being with memory that works with the precision of a computer would be like finding someone with bones made of steel.The difference is that she scans her past relentlessly. Every time a human thinks of something we get better at remembering it. Price has spent her whole life ruminating on the past, constructing timelines and lists, and figuring the connections between one February 19 and the next. Dates and memories are her constant companions, and as a result she's really good at remembering her past
