While dealing with the aftermath of the accident that took the lives of her mother and sister, she finds herself forced to face her own memory – which may not be quite what it seems.

    Now, five years later, Portia is forced to recall the events of the past while being questioned about a horrific crime she doesn’t remember.

That is, until Ethan Torke moved in across the street and changed Portia’s perspective in ways she could not possibly comprehend. But the truth always catches up with you, and fantasies never last. 
     
    An unforgettable tale of memory, love, and strength through the darkest of times, Remember announces a brave new voice in psychological suspense.
