The woman who woke up in the future
Naomi Jacobs went to bed in her home in Manchester aged 32 but she woke up thinking she was 15, her adult memories gone. Slowly she pieced together the 17 years she’d lost.
In 2008, Naomi Jacobs went to bed in her home in Manchester as a 32-year-old woman. When she woke the following morning, her world had changed. Overnight, her memories had gone. She didn't recognise her home, her life, or even her child. Instead, she believed she was a teenage schoolgirl living in 1992. And she was utterly bewildered by how she had ended up in the future. She told Emily Webb how the diaries that held the key to her past eventually got her back to the present.
