Memories Light the Corners of My Mind

I was offered the first chapter of this book by Rachel Hauck to read and review, but one chapter alone does not give the whole feel and does not really give a full insight of the book.  I usually read a book over three or four nights right before I go to sleep, but this book was so compelling, I finished it in two nights.

Beck Holliday is a NYPD sergeant who has blanks in her memories of her life growing up, especially since her father died in 9/11. 

Bruno Endicott is a sports agent who is trying to build his business from the ground up and fight the negative press of his former employer.

Everleigh Callahan was a neighbor of Bruno's and Beck's (during the summer).  She was the one who spent time with Bruno and Beck every summer until Beck's father died. She was a kind, grandmotherly type woman who loved children with her whole heart.

Beck works the night shift and with her partner, they go after a "perp" who is selling drugs in one of New York City's economically depressed neighborhoods. She goes beyond the regulations when she punches him in the face after he was already cuffed.  She gets a reprimand and four weeks suspension.  About this same time she finds that Everleigh has passed away and left her entire estate to Beck.  This is the first turn in the road that leads to Beck's memories and leads her home to her Heavenly Father.

This is more than a Five Star book, but that's all they will let me give it.  Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and a memory restored.

My thanks to Thomas Nelson Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.
