The Andersens #7
Remember
Livia Andersen was a woman who held her family together with a quiet smile and an iron will. It’s only been a few months since her death and the four children she leaves behind grapple with the shifting changes in their lives now that she’s gone. But they are not alone in their grief. And now secrets she kept carefully guarded for years are about to be revealed.
Noah Andersen understands responsibility. As the oldest of Livia Andersen’s four children he has always believed it fell on him to keep the family strong. To keep it together. Unlike his parents long marriage his own personal life has been fraught with mistakes and poor judgment. He’s spent the last dozen years changing that.
Now, months after their mother’s death, Noah is taking some much needed time away to visit his youngest sister, Claire. During his visit he hopes to learn some of the answers to the remaining questions he has about his brother-in-law’s dubious activities during the last year of his mother’s life. What he doesn’t know is that Claire has reasons of her own for wanting him to visit. She’d made a promise to their mother that she’s still grappling with and would give anything to spare her brother what’s to come.
The Andersen Saga is a story of family. It is a story about joy and loss, hope and sorrow, betrayal and regrets, unconditional forgiveness, high expectations, and unwavering loyalty. It reminds that at the heart of who we are is the family we come from, the family who stands behind and beside us and at times against us. And who we become isn’t just a result of those still with us but those too that we’ve lost along the way. It is about the twist and turns every family deals with, the conflicts from within, and the never ending desire for acceptance and respect.
Remember is the seventh book in the ongoing Andersen Family Saga. Other books in the Andersen Family Saga include Betrayal, Resolute, Broken, Found, Choices, and Regrets.

About the author
Jacie Middlemann
372 books160 followersI fell in love with books when I was in the 4th grade and my free period was spent volunteering in the school library. I read every Nancy Drew book there was to check out, discovered collections of myths and fairy tales from around the world, Louisa May Alcott and C.S. Lewis, and decided I wanted my own library. By the end of that summer with the supplies our school librarian graciously provided me my books had due date slips, card pockets, book cards, and black electrical tape on the spine with the first three letters of the author's last name. I still have most of those books.
In the hope she could get me involved in something else my mother gave me a camera. Right around the same time my father told me I could use his typewriter when he wasn't using it. The typewriter won. We shared his typewriter but I also filled notebooks with stories scribbled before school, after school, and often when I was supposed to be asleep. Thanks to my mother, who saved just about every single one of those notebooks, I still have them as well.
Several years ago my father gave me his typewriter…the same one we shared all those summers ago. Every time I look at it I remember the young 4th grade girl who was quietly encouraged to do what she loved…and years later reminded with a box filled with notebooks crammed full of handwritten stories and dreams.
And it’s still not unheard of that I stay up way later than I should with a good book that’s just impossible to put down.

A good, heart-opening episode. Noah arrived at the lake to spend time with Claire and work on the newly purchased cottages. Claire, on the other hand, is under a promise to share information with him from their mother. That causes Noah to rethink his life and that of his mom. This episode, while filled with much grief, is also filled with much hope.
Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Informative. Inspirational. Unpredictable. Whimsical. Wonderful characters.

Another great story exploring human nature and the pain of regret
Having missed 20 years of a child's life, for whatever reason, brings its own pain, but the reasons for that lapse can present a plethora of problems to work through, and that is where we find Noah in this book. Good read! Noah is about to meet Noelle for the first time.

Tears
Enter another character Noelle. Email sent by Katie and the grief stricken card written by Noelle brought tears to my eyes. Jackie Middleman has given us her heart in the saga.
