This is modern love stories of love, loss, and redemption.
I'm your host, Magna Chakrabarti.
Sometimes the thing we love most isn't a person.
It could be a place that we return to over and over again at different times throughout our lives.
Laura Dave writes about one of those places in her piece gps for my lost identity.
It's read by Diane Guerrero.
You can see her in Jane the Virgin and Orange is the New Black.
She's also the author of a new book called my Family Divided.
Last summer, I found out that my identity had been stolen.
It was the weekend of a friend's wedding, and I was standing outside the memorial church at Stanford University for the rehearsal when I called my bank to make sure I could clear an important check.
You may dial an extension at any time.
The bank associate told me that this would be impossible, as my account was almost $10,000 overdrawn.
She then asked me if I was calling from Mexico.
I looked around at Stanford's sprawling green, students playing Frisbee, tourists snapping photographs, and told the woman that I was fairly certain I wasn't.
Laura Dave most recently called to inform us she was in Mexico.
She replied, if you're not there, then who are you?
My head started to hurt, and it would continue to hurt as the details emerged over the next few days.
