With Every Memory by Janine Rosche is the story of a woman whose family was in a terrible accident that left her son dead. Lori Mendenhall has been recovering in a hospital with no memory of the eight years before. As her memory returns, she has flashbacks of her life and there are secrets that she cannot uncover.
Her husband is trying to help her, but her memories of him and their family seem strange to her. She feels that there is something that he is hiding and that their life was under a lot of stress and suspicions before the accident. Her flashbacks are just that…flashes in her memory that she can’t unravel. Her loving husband has become a workaholic who is never home and her daughter (the twin of her deceased son) spends her time in her room without communicating with her parents. It’s as if the family she remembers does not exist. Lori must come to terms with what she has forgotten and deal with the reality of her life and family now.
I found this book to be disturbing because what Lori remembers as the truth seems not to be that as she interacts with former friends and family. I liked the book because it was a mystery, but I also found it sad. I thought the author did an excellent job of introducing the characters and leading the reader to make conclusions that were possibly not correct. It did hold my interest throughout the book. I received a print copy of this book from Revell Publishing in return for my honest review.
