I am so looking forward to discussing The Memory House by Rachel Hauck with my book club this month. It quickly moved up to my favorite book by Hauck. Won’t you join us? If you have read this book we would love to know your thoughts.
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.

This is such a good book. You will love it!
I have read it, and I did love it! I’m hoping our members will too!
I loved this one too!
What was your favorite part?
I don’t know if I have a specific favorite part but I loved the character development that it wasn’t just all about the MC. I felt like I got to know a community through it.
I loved how the two storylines intersected, but not in a way that I expected.
