Blurb:
Is the Life She Can't Remember One She'd Rather Forget?
One year after her family was in a tragic car accident that killed her teenage son, Lori Mendenhall returns home with a traumatic brain injury that has stolen the last eight years of memories from her. She is shocked to find that the life she was leading before the accident is unrecognizable. Her once-loving husband, Michael, is a distant workaholic she isn't sure she can trust and her once-bubbly daughter, Avery, has spent the last year hidden away in her room.
For Avery, life stopped when she lost her twin. Now, if she wants to graduate high school, she'll have to accept help from Xander Dixon, her brother's best friend and the boy who relentlessly teased her for years. And if Lori wants to reconnect with her husband, she'll have to grapple with information her brain is trying to keep secret. With every memory that returns, she can't help but wonder if the life she can't remember is one she'd rather forget.

My Review:
I found that With Every Memory was a beautiful book to read. It is one that I was able to relate to the characters and understand the turmoil they experienced. It is an emotional story that had me wanting to grab tissues from time to time. I wanted to keep reading to see what would happen. There were a few twists I did not expect. I love the theme of hope, love, faith, forgiveness and redemption. I thought it was fabulous.
I believe With Every Memory is among my favorite books I have read this year and am giving it five stars. I honestly believe fans of clean fiction that is inspirng to read will greatly enjoy it as much as me. I would definitely be interested in reading other books from the talented author, Janine Rosche.
I received a paperback copy of Janine Rosche's With Every Memory from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
