The Book
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.
The Review
Remember Me is a moving tale of tragic upbringing, healing, and redeeming love. With the stunning backdrop of Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo in Seattle, Tracie Peterson explores the question of why God allows horrible things to happen to good people. The question and the answer are expertly woven into her story that keeps the reader rooting for Addie, the heroine, who is attempting to outrun a bitter and tragic past . . . even if it means leaving behind the man she has loved since her girlhood.
With a hero’s unconditional love, a mother figure’s guiding hand, and the Lord’s redeeming love, Addie finds freedom in Christ to release the ugliness of a past that had been thrust upon her and embrace a future filled with hope and love.
