“In all of us there is a hunger, to know our heritage…”
Book 4 in The Unforgettables series by Author Jane O’Brien continues the sweet saga of memorable couples who learn to love themselves and each other under the author’s caring and positive eye.
I settled in my lounge chair, set so I could watch the changing waters of Lake Erie while I read, eager to savor this newest book. I’m always so happy when I have a new book in hand from this Author. If you are looking for well-crafted books that will be your best friend, please read Author O’Brien’s stories.
Her books are set in Western Michigan, and Lake Michigan, with its family-oriented towns and vacation cottages reminds me of my spot on the Great Lakes. Michigan is as much a heritage for the author and her characters as are their family lines.
I loved the start of this book. Author O’Brien is at her best with her “from the heart” word pictures of her characters. We meet a cast of the inhabitants of Muskegon. A young mother preparing her baby’s nursery, a middle-aged woman concerned about her son’s health, a young woman named Georgy who is learning to treat herself with respect. All have secrets and stories small or large.
Jack Gaines is the star of the show. He had been Georgy’s secret crush in high school. Here’s a favorite part of the book that describes him.
“Good looking, quite charming, women were drawn to him and they would stay at his place until… his whole milk had been replaced with almond milk, the iceberg lettuce was now spinach leaves, there were avocados rolling around on the counter, and quinoa in the cupboard.
Georgy is a young woman who has gone through some changes since high school. She teaches a workshop on finding relatives at the local library. Some of the attendees are searching for a now grown baby placed for adoption, or their birth parents. Others search to answer medical problems. And many are searching for respect and understanding. As the book continues and we get to know the characters, their names, connections and relationship create a compelling tale of what it means to be family.
The author treats every situation with love and compassion, along with providing helpful information for readers who may need help like this.
We again meet Ivy and Fox from an earlier book, and even the ruby and diamond necklace makes an appearance.
A bit of Civil War history also wends it ways throughout the story- I hope we learn more about this and Charles Hackley in a future book.
Most of the situations have a happy resolution and Georgy and Jack do turn out to be “unforgettable.”
This book isn’t as dramatic or sweeping in history as others in the series, but it is a warm and comforting read, with a bit of spice and fun. I hope that for many readers, this book opens up and strengthens their family ties. Recommend!

George and Jack
Each book in this series explains more about the family and this was one of the best It helps to read the stories in order to better understand previous generations. It's worth the hours I've spent. Ready to start the next one with great anticipation. 😊
