STICKY: Some things you never forget

Why are some memories indelible and others not so much? And why are the moments that we do remember sometimes the ones we might least expect?As Wexler suggests, the answer as to why some recollections are "Sticky" and others are not may be beside the point. In this intensely personal collection, the author digs back into his own memory bank and retrieves a box of hidden gems. From "The Golden Rule," a tale about a down-syndrome boy who finally get his shot, to cracking the computer game "Wizardry," to the hilarious but heartfelt, "When Your Drug Dealer Tells You He Wants to Kill Himself," these non-fiction stories will stick to your ribs and to your heart/bones.
