Strong-willed Ashley Baxter is trying to forget. 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.
