About the book...
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.
My review...
I love time-slip novels, so I was excited to read this one,
especially as I’ve read and loved many of Hauck’s books. In this case, the
story follows Beck Holiday (modern day) and Everleigh Callahan (1950s).
Generally, I’m drawn to one story line a bit more than the other, but that
wasn’t the case with this story, as I loved them both. The ladies live in
different times, but both deal with fears, loss, and challenges. Hauck weaves
them together seamlessly, and one special house connects them to create a wonderful,
heartwarming tale.
