Publisher Description
She has locked up her heart, convinced that no one – including God - could love her. Four unlikely people - Alzheimer’s patients - find the cracks in Ashley’s heart and slowly help her remember. Then comes the nightmare of September 11, which forever changes the lives of the Baxter family, causing them to remember what is important and leading them to make decisions that are both heartbreaking and hope-filled. Landon Blake, who has loved Ashley since he was a teenager, tries to dull the pain of her rejection by immersing himself in the rescue efforts at Ground Zero. Tragedy and healing. Hurt and forgiveness. Redemption. And powerful lessons about remembering. Novelist Karen Kingsbury and relationship expert Gary Smalley have teamed up to bring you an inspiring series of stories that explore the relationship principles Gary has been teaching for more than thirty years.

"Wow, I've never a had a book impact so much emotionally. The title is so perfect in so many ways. It's about so much more than 9-11. It's about remembering your first love, remembering your youth and the good things in life, remembering to care and to live in the moment rather than protect your heart from pain because you never know what tomorrow will bring, remembering God and the big picture, remembering that only God can heal our heart and love us the way we need to be loved. I cried so many times during this story I can't remember (LOL!), mainly because all of the relationships between the characters were so real. And there was true love, and romance, and kissing between several sets of characters, all with different issues causing them pain. This is so often absent in "inspirational" fiction, and that makes me sad. The characters' temptations were real, their sin and mistakes were real, the losses they all felt were amazingly real. I don't think the 9-11 thing was overdone at all. Maybe because I'm from NY state, it hits me closer to home. I remember watching the events unfold on television (while living in Arizona) and being in shock for a week. Remembering this event, in my opinion, is important, because like with any tragedy we tend to forget, and I don't think that's a good thing at all. Remembering makes us love more, try harder, and ultimately heal. Did I mention that I couldn't put this book down? Good thing this was a long weekend!"

" Everyone feels alone and scared a times. Ashley shows that God does forgive everyone. The author did a great job putting 11 Sept 2001 in her book. That date has changed everyone forever and she shows this though her writting. A great way to put it in our everyday lives. "

" Loved reading the inner turmoil of Ashley as she seems to be the most interesting Baxter. We would all be so lucky to have a "Landon" in our life. This was my fave in the Redemption series. "

" The Baxter family's stories just keep getting better and better. I truly wish I could have read this series in order so that I would not already know what was going to happen before I read each of the early books, but I am so glad that the series has been able to touch my life in the way it has.

" The book was very good. I"m enjoying reading this books that have more of a reality feel to them. And these especially dealing with the days after 9/11. I think most people were touched personally by the loss of at least one person that day. I'm very grateful that my husband was not in NYC that day. "

" Ashley Baxter, the "black sheep" of the family, is determined to keep her family, her child, and the one man who has always loved her at a distance. This is a beautiful story of God wooing her back to his fold, and in doing so, how Ash learns to love again. LOOOOVED it! "
