Beck Holiday is a tough NYPD cop. She’s following in her father’s
footsteps and carrying a burden of guilt. He died in the 911 disaster
and since then she has complete amnesia about him. She also has a
secret that will soon become obvious. When her life seems at the
lowest, she receives a surprise inheritance. Everleigh Callahan, a
woman she has no memory of meeting, has willed her a house in
Florida.
In Florida, she
meets Bruno, a neighbor with his own problems trying to start his
sports agency. When they reconnect, she begins to remember some of
their times as children. She’s not sure she wants to build a life
in Florida although she’s attracted to him.
Everleigh Callahan
had issues of her own. As a happy newly-wed, she saw her life
collapse when her husband and his family were killed in a tornado.
When she met Don Callahan, she wanted to change and move past her
grief, but she had a secret that she wasn’t sure she could share.
The stories of these
two women are intertwined and play out with the Memory House in the
background. Both long to move past their self-imposed limitations,
but find it difficult to do so. Usually, I find stories that trace
two lives in different time periods difficult. One character is
always the favorite. That wasn’t the case this time. Both women
worked hard to make their lives better. I enjoyed both equally.
The story is told
from multiple points of view, Beck, Bruno, Everleigh, and Don, but it
works well. We get to know all four people and understand the part each plays
in the story. If you enjoy romantic stories of love and growth, this
is a great book.
I received this book
from BookLook Bloggers for this review.
