"Remember Me," by Tracie Peterson

 "Remember Me," by Tracie Peterson

From the Yukon to Seattle, the hope of a new beginning waits just around the corner.

Addie Bryant is haunted by her past of heartbreak and betrayal. After her beau, Isaac Hanson, left the Yukon, she made a vow to wait for him. When she's sold to a brothel owner after the death of her father, Addie manages to escape with the hope that she can forever hide her past and the belief that she will never have the future she's always dreamed of.

Years later, Addie has found peace in her new life as a photographer, training Camera Girls to operate and sell the Brownie camera. During the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo in Seattle, Addie is reunited with Isaac, but after the path her life has taken, she's afraid to expose the ugliness of her former life and to move toward the future they had pledged to each other.

When her past catches up with her, Addie must decide whether to run or to stay and face her wounds in order to embrace her life, her future, and her hope in God.

First let me say I am a huge fan of Tracie Peterson's books; but this book didn't grab my attention at all until I was maybe 3/4 of the way through it.  If I wasn't reviewing the book I would have thrown the towel in on this one pretty early on.

It seemed to drag along at such a snail's pace.  It wasn't that the subject matter wasn't interesting, but I knew what was going to happen, there were no surprises along the way.

Stars out of 5 : 2.5  This is the first book in the "Pictures of the Heart" series.  Again I normally love Tracie's books; just not this one.
