ABOUT THE BOOK

Embracing the future means remembering the past . . . 

When Beck Holiday lost her father in the North Tower on 9/11, she also lost her memories of him. Eighteen years later, she’s a tough New York City cop burdened with a damaging secret, suspended for misconduct, and struggling to get her life in order. Meanwhile a mysterious letter arrives informing her she’s inherited a house along Florida’s northern coast, and what she discovers there will change her life forever. Matters of the heart only become more complicated when she runs into handsome Bruno Endicott, a driven sports agent who fondly recalls the connection they shared as teenagers. But Beck doesn’t remember that either.

Decades earlier, widow Everleigh Applegate lives a steady, uneventful life with her widowed mother after a tornado ripped through Waco, Texas, and destroyed her new, young married life. When she runs into old high school friend Don Callahan, she begins to yearn for change. Yet no matter how much she longs to love again, she is hindered by a secret she can never share.

Fifty years separate the women but through the power of love and miracle of faith, they each find healing in a beautiful Victorian known affectionately as The Memory House.  

"Accomplished Hauck demonstrates genre finesse as she blends inspirational romance with a cinematic style of storytelling, bringing empathic characters to life as they cope with grief in marriage and faithfulness, parenthood and adoption, death and tragedy. Challenging decisions, the blessing of finding love again, and the solace of a beautiful Victorian home all come together in this spellbinding, lovely novel." —Booklist 


MY REVIEW

I'm going to agree with quite a few other people. I don't know how this author or quite a few others that can write a duo time line and get away with it, plus add a spot of mystery and action within!
Rachel is a wonderful writer that can really make u feel like you are there with the NYPD Beck and Bruno.
When you read this story at first you're like what does present have to do with past? I loved reading this book to see how they weaved together!!
Beck and Bruno were truly amazing characters!! The author has brought them to life and I hated saying goodbye to them! They were like my best friends!!
A truly remarkable book!!
I received this copy from Netgalley No compensations were received and all opinions are my own!!
