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 thoughts:
Every time I read a novel written by Ms. Hauck I am blown away by her superb story telling and her compelling characters. The Memory House is another example of this authors incredible work.
I absolutely adored the four main characters and the seamless transition of their storylines is fantastic. As a fan of dual timelines this is one of my favorites because I loved each time period and couple which surprised me because I usually prefer one time period or characters in this type of novel. I may have had one little guy that I was drawn to named Beetle Boo but when you read this book, you’ll understand why this little pup stole my heart.
The characters are flawed,, the losses they experience are heart wrenching but time and faith are the path to healing. I will think of the characters for a long time and will read The Memory House again because it’s just that good. I highly recommend this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher but was under no obligation to write a favorable review. All opinions are my own.
