REMEMBER ME by TRACIE PETERSON is an historical romance novel that takes place in Seattle at the time of the Alaska-Yukom-Pacific Exposition
in 1909. The story is exciting, the characters and their struggles are well portrayed, and there is a strong Christian message of redemption, forgiveness of sins and restoration on which it is based.
We see how Adeline Bryant escapes her abusive brothers in Dawson City and ends up with the godly Fisher family in Seattle, in charge of the Camera Girls, taking family photos and selling Brownie cameras at the Exposition. She not only comes across Isaac Fisher , to whom she was engaged before her brothers sold her to a brothel owner in Dawson City, but also the dreaded brothers…….
The story is realistically brutal in parts and we get a good idea of what the pioneers went through on the Oregan Trail. In contrast we see the goodness of God who can bring good out of all things.
I found Remember Me interesting and inspirational and cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone who enjoys this genre.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
