Today I wanted to let you know that my friend Rachel Hauck’s latest book The Memory House has released. I love Rachel’s writing. She writes characters I love with spiritual themes I’m still thinking about years later…and that get incorporated into my repertoire like “Love Well.” This novel is a welcome addition to her timesplit novels. You’ll walk through two heroine’s stories that intersect in one house. Each is dealing with guilt about surviving a tragedy and the fall-out in their lives. At times you will wonder how healing can be found, but it is possible, because in this book as with her others, Rachel firmly points the way to truth.
About the Memory House:
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.
