About this audiobook
It begins with a postcard from Riley Brackett's wife to Clare McClendon, informing her that Riley has been in a serious accident and lost his memory of everything but her and the summer they spent together when Clare was seventeen. Could Clare come to Maine? Perhaps seeing her will cause Riley to recall his wife and two children, and the intervening years. Clare, who is dealing with a faltering marriage and her mother-in-law's cancer, agrees to the request against her better judgment. For Riley, things are now as they once were, and though Clare at first resists, she is soon caught up herself—in a way, as lost as he. With commitments to other people in their lives, there is no second chance for love—or is there? Annie Garrett ventures into Sue Miller and Elizabeth Berg territory with this moving novel about memory and its romantic, healing force in the present.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5In their teens, Riley and Clare were lovers. Twenty years later Riley suffers an accident and Clare receives a post card from his wife asking for help. It seems that despite a wife and two children, Riley’s memory stops at that summer he was in love with Clare. The premise seemed good but frankly the book left me a little lukewarm.
