Career wise, single mother, widow and radio personality, Ramona Lawson is a woman on the rise. As her alter-ego “Saleena Bridges,” she has grabbed the helm of a failing time slot at a popular radio station in Cincinnati, and turned things around in record time flat. Her love for great music and meaningful conversation resonates well with her audience and she quickly finds her stock in the industry climbing.
On a personal level, her life has consisted mostly of raising her son and picking up the pieces of the sudden loss of her husband six years ago, but when an old lover from the past resurfaces unexpectedly and a new suitor begins to pursue her, she finds herself in the unenviable position of figuring out which way her heart will lead her.
Things Remembered is a story of how one woman finds healing when confronted with coming to grips with love she lost, the reemergence of a love she never forgot and the love that she’s been waiting for, all at the same time.
She has to search deep within and rely on the painful memories of the past to direct her to the love God has waiting in her future. While on her quest for love and happiness, family issues arise and devastating secrets are revealed, which threaten her unraveling. How will she cope with it all? Which lover will she choose? And how will God manage to make such irreparably broken pieces whole again?
This was such a touching and emotional story. TruFiyah may have shared her story, but she touched on the many facets of most women and our desire to be loved, while fearing opening ourselves up to the possibility. This was a well written and emotionally touching story.
This is my first time reading a book by this Author and I absolutely loved this story. There were few grammatical errors but it in no way took away from the story. It definitely takes you on an emotional roller coaster, I found myself getting teary eyed, laughing and shaking my head throughout the entire book. I'm ready to dive into part two and looking forward to see where this cast of characters takes me next.
