Synopsis
If you could do it all over again, would you still choose him?At age thirty-nine, Lucie Walker has no choice but to start her life over when she comes to, up to her knees in the chilly San Francisco Bay, with no idea how she got there or who she is. Her memory loss is caused by an emotional trauma she knows nothing about, and only when handsome, quiet Grady Goodall arrives at the hospital does she learn she has a home, a career, and a wedding just two months away.
What went wrong? Grady seems to care for her, but Lucie is no more sure of him than she is of anything. As she collects the clues of her past self, she unlocks the mystery of what happened to her.
The painful secrets she uncovers could hold the key to her future—if she trusts her heart enough to guide her.

Love Water Memory is
certainly a very interesting read. The writing is almost compelling, the story
is intriguing and the characters are sweetly complicated.
Jennie’s writing can only
be characterized as unique. She is truly magnificent. She’s very skilled and
talented and her novel proves it. It shows that this novel comes from an
experienced writer, who knows what she’s doing. The whole book has an aura of
purpose. The story has a beautiful flow and grace and the reader feels like she’s
flying right along with the characters and the story. It just feels so calm and
confident. Everything about the story and Lucie is utterly intense, but Jennie
presents it all with such grace….
It’s one of those
classic novels that you just have to read in order to feel you’ve read
something good, something great that exudes quality.
In my opinion, the
writing was the best part of the book. I didn’t love-love the story or the
characters for some reason. I liked it a lot, but I wouldn’t say it’s one of my
favorites either. But the writing is indeed spectacular. It’s so outstanding
that it makes you want to read it again, just to make sure you didn’t miss
anything.
