Impostor Maureen K Wlodarczyk

Can a person ever say, with certainty, who they are? A simple dictionary definition of identity is who a person is, or the qualities of a person that make them different from others. Psychologists say that identity encompasses the memories, experiences, relationships, and values that create one's sense of self. Imagine that you had no memories, no recollection of past experiences or relationships. Or, imagine that the memories, past experiences, and relationships you did have were based on a foundation of half-truths or concealed facts. What would that mean to your identity, who you believe you are . . . and who you really are? Impostor is the story of a woman living in fear of rediscovering her lost identity. She makes the decision to confront her demons, only to find out that she never really knew who she was in the first place. In the end, her journey back in time proves to be an exercise that truly defines the essence of her identity for the first time.
