My review:

Present day
Beck is a NYPD detective who is on suspension when she learns she inherited a house in FL from a lady named Everleigh.
Bruno and Beck go way back, but since she has amnesia she doesn’t have a clue who he or Ms. Everleigh is.

Past ~ 1953, 1960’s
Everleigh is set to begin her life with Rhett and their unborn baby. A tornado sweeps through Texas causing heartbreak that she’s not sure she’ll ever get over.
Can Don help Everleigh heal and be the new love of her life? He’ll certainly work hard trying.

A lovely story of loss and finding love again. The dual timelines are woven together nicely giving imperfect characters their perfect ending.

Book blurb:

The inspirational story of two women whose lives have been destroyed by disaster but find healing in a special 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.

When a mysterious letter arrives informing Beck that she’s inherited a house along Florida’s northern coast, she discovers something there that will change her life forever. Matters of the heart only become more complicated when she runs into handsome Bruno Endicott, a sports agent who has never forgotten their connection as teenagers. But Beck can’t even remember him.

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 her former 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.

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck brings us a sweet romance where the power of love and the miracle of faith promise hope and healing in a beautiful Victorian home known affectionately as The Memory House.
