Forgotten Memories by Penny Zeller

 

SOME MEMORIES ARE BEST FORGOTTEN...

The Wyoming Territory is rife with lawlessness and disorder, something Annie Ledbetter and her parents discover when their wagon train is robbed. Seven years later, Annie settles into her lifelong dream as a teacher in the small town of Willow Falls. When she meets handsome rancher Caleb Eliason through a humorous misunderstanding, she is quickly drawn to his kind heart and charming smile.

Former outlaw Caleb Eliason embraces his chance at a fresh start. Gone are the days of robbing stagecoaches and wagon trains. When he falls in love with the new Willow Falls teacher, he doesn’t realize they’ve met before—under much different circumstances. When his past comes to light, will it put the growing love between them at risk?

Can forgiveness and redemption heal two broken hearts or will the past keep them from sharing a future?

I loved this book so much! While it WAS filled with some danger and mystery, it wasn't a scary book and I would still recommend it to the teen audience and any adult who loves a historical romance. It was a fun glimpse into life in that time period. A book about new beginnings and second chances. It reminds us that despite past choices and/or mistakes, we are all able to make better choices, especially if we make the best choice of all, Jesus!

The characters were well developed and easily to relate to. The "secondary" characters were also very real and I can't wait to get to know some of them better in the future books!

Like she always does, Penny has carried me off to another place and time. I was drawn to their story and stayed up late one night to read half the book so I could know the ending!
