Remember Me

 Remember Me by Tracie Peterson

From the Yukon to Seattle, the hope of a new beginning waits just around the corner.

Addie Bryant is haunted by her past of heartbreak and betrayal. After her beau, Isaac Hanson, left the Yukon, she made a vow to wait for him. When she's sold to a brothel owner after the death of her father, Addie manages to escape with the hope that she can forever hide her past and the belief that she will never have the future she's always dreamed of.

Years later, Addie has found peace in her new life as a photographer, training Camera Girls to operate and sell the Brownie camera. During the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo in Seattle, Addie is reunited with Isaac, but after the path her life has taken, she's afraid to expose the ugliness of her former life and to move toward the future they had pledged to each other.

When her past catches up with her, Addie must decide whether to run or to stay and face her wounds in order to embrace her life, her future, and her hope in God.

My Review: 

Addie Bryant is so sure Isaac Hanson would not want to keep his promise to marry her after he found out the life she’d been forced to live after he departed to attend college. But, he never forgets or gives up on her, even when he learns the truth of her past. 

The characterization of Addie’s evil brothers was so well done. You really do despise them! You see how they cared for nothing more than themselves and how they could get money through dishonest means, no matter the cost. 

This was a beautiful story of not only Addie and Isaac, but also how God loves us, despite what we may have done. Although brothels and prostitution are mentioned, nothing is described in detail. I would recommend this to readers for young adults through mature readers. 

I was given a complimentary copy of the book through The Launch Team Geek. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
