Review of More Than We Remember by Christina Suzann Nelson


About the Book ~

One night changes everything...

When Addison Kilbourn's husband is involved in a car accident that leaves a woman dead, her perfectly constructed life crumbles apart. With her husband's memory of that night gone and the revelation of a potentially life-altering secret, Addison has to reevaluate all she thought she knew.

Emilia Cruz is a deputy bearing a heavy burden far beyond the weight of her job. After a traumatic brain injury, her husband is no longer the man she married, and Emilia's determined to prevent others from facing the same hardship. When she's called to the scene of an accident pointing to everything she's fighting against, she's determined to see justice for those wronged.

Brianne Demanno is hiding from reality. She once thrived as a counselor, but when tragedy struck a beloved client, she lost faith in herself and her purpose. When her neighbors, the Kilbourns, are thrown into crisis, Brianne's solitary life is disrupted and she finds herself needed in a way she hasn't been for too long.

As the lives of these women intersect, they can no longer dwell in the memory of who they've been. Can they rise from the wreck of the worst moments of their lives to become who they were meant to be?

My Thoughts ~

More Than We Remember by Christina Suzann Nelson is a search for hope in a complex, heartbreaking world! 

More Than We Remember is an intricately woven story, one that allows readers to see into the unique life of each main character while they unravel the mystery of that fateful night. The author does a great job maintaining the pace of the overall story, and little, significant details are disclosed at just the right moments.

More Than We Remember is a heavier book. It delves into potentially triggering topics like traumatic injuries, suicide, sexual abuse, and substance abuse. While not soulmate characters for me, I greatly appreciated the author's honest portrayal of emotions in the difficult and dark places Addison, Emilia, and Brianne have to navigate. More Than We Remember highlights the need for hope; regardless of the harder topics, readers will turn the pages and find God's hope in the characters' search for exactly that! 

Three Stars ~ More Than We Remember by Christina Suzann Nelson is a story of hope in the darkness! More Than We Remember is a standalone from Bethany House, but the author has more novels for readers to enjoy!
