Today I'm excited to review More Than We Remember by Christina Suzann Nelson. It was recently a book of the month in a book club I'm in and I'm thankful! I also got to meet the author at the Public Library Association convention in January this year. I'm giving away an autographed copy to one lucky commenter (US Addresses only, digital otherwise)!
Here's the back cover copy:
One night changes everything for three women. . . .
When Addison Killbourn's husband is involved in a car accident that leaves a woman dead, her perfectly constructed life crumbles apart. With her husband's memory of that night gone and the revelation of a potentially life-altering secret, Addison has to reevaluate all she thought she knew.
Emilia Cruz is a deputy bearing a heavy burden far beyond the weight of her job. Her husband is no longer the man she married, and Emilia's determined to prevent others from facing the same hardship. When she's called to the scene of an accident pointing to everything she's fighting against, she's determined to see justice for those wronged.Brianne Demanno is hiding from reality. She was thriving as a counselor, but when tragedy struck a beloved client, she lost faith in herself and her purpose. When her neighbors, the Killbourns, are thrown into crisis, Brianne's solitary life is disrupted and she finds herself needed in a way she hasn't been in a while.
As the lives of these women intersect, they can no longer dwell in the memory of who they've been. Can they rise from the wreck of the worst moments of their lives to become who they were meant to be?
I was immediately hooked by this story that looks at three very different women's lives. The story has twists and turns I didn't expect, but then slapping-my-head, I'm thinking, of course!
I liked all three women. They were stronger than they thought they were and what happened in the book tempered them. I'm not sure which one I liked the most...probably Brianne--she was the least like me. I saw so much of myself in Emilia, and I was really glad to see how her story turned out. (Not telling too much--don't want to spoil the story for you)
Lilly stole my heart. So wise for one so young. This is an uplifting, twisty book and I think Suspense Sisters readers will enjoy it.
I'm also reviewing Christina Suzann Nelson's first book, If We Make It Home on my blog, and I'm giving away a copy of that book as well. So, hop over to my blog and leave a comment. Again, US addresses only.
I just saw this book online the other day. It looked interesting. The cover is beautiful.

Amy, Christina writes very strong characters who might not start out strong, but have it deep inside them.
DeleteThose are some hard problems to face.
