Book Description
Dale Forsythe awakens one morning in a parking lot, a taste of turpentine in his mouth, with no idea how he got there or why a two-week chunk appears to be missing from his life. Of this gap, Dale remembers nothing but three pairs of shoes — vague, context-free flashes that crystallize slowly. Unusual events, most likely tied to this missing time, occur around him. Dale's only choice is to solve the mystery of these three pairs of shoes and, hopefully, get his life back.

Using a complex thriller structure, first-time author Carl Loutan weaves a sometimes baffling, often funny account of what happens when a man discovers things about himself he never thought possible. Dale Forsythe has to turn the mirror on himself in order to regain some semblance of normalcy, but he has nothing to go on but his Memories of Shoes.
