This OR That Giveaway № 154 ~ Remember Me by Laura Hendrie OR Remember Me by Cheryl Robinson #RememberMe

 

I have sooooo many books!

The This or That Giveaway! feature that I post every Saturday is a way for me to cull my collection and to share some of the many books I have. I get to clear off some of my shelves to make room for more books and give someone else the chance to enjoy these treasures.

Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!

Remember Me
by Laura Hendrie
Hardcover ~ January 1999

Readers who enjoy the novels of writers such as Barbara Kingsolver and E. Annie Proulx will love Laura Hendrie, whose prizewinning story collection, Stygo, launched her literary career in 1994. Now, Hendrie has delivered a major novel featuring the wily and tenacious twenty-nine-year-old Rose Devonic, a character as memorable, unorthodox, and engaging as any in recent fiction.

Rose lives in the tiny mountain town of Queduro, New Mexico, where she--like almost all the inhabitants of the town--makes her living by selling embroidery. However, Rose has no home and no family. In winter she sleeps in one of the cold cabins in a mostly abandoned motel, in summer she lives out of her car. A tragedy in her past, which serves as a constant reminder to her neighbors of their complicity, has made her an outcast. 

Determined as she is to make a fresh start, Rose's past threatens constantly to engulf her. Only by facing down her ghosts - and her hometown - will she learn how to accept the ultimately liberating challenges of belonging, identity, and love.

Remember Me
by Cheryl Robinson
Paperback ~ Published August 2011

Two best friends test the limits of loyalty in a stirring novel of friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness.   

Mia and Danielle had vowed to stay best friends for life-until one indiscretion destroyed that bond forever. Twenty years later, tragedy reunites them in an unexpected way. Now they must confront the past, discover its untold truths, and rebuild a friendship destined to endure.
