A wonderful life like christian romance!

This story hits home with a reality that so many can relate too. Maggie a women trapped in an unhealthy relationship with no way to escape. Then God steps into her life and offers her a way out. You are with Maggie the whole journey as she travels farther and farther from her past. Maggie is such an awesome character I was rooting for her the whole way through the book!

Reads like a thriller!

A fast-paced romantic adventure that reads like a thriller. Deb Raney's novel, Remember to Forget, had me flipping the pages with eager anticipation...reading just one more chapter. And then...just one more!

I loved visiting the little town of Clayburn with its mostly charming inhabitants, meeting Wren and Trevor, and rooting for Maggie as she struck out on what became a quest for freedom. Filled with both tense and tender moments, Remember to Forget is a delight to the heart.

Remember to Forget--FANTASTIC!

From the moment I grabbed Remember to Forget from my mailbox until the moment I closed the book I was transported to another place.

Long a fan of anything written by Deborah Raney I was so looking forward to getting this book. As always, Raney weaves a plot rich with tangible characters we love to hurt for and love to rejoice with as they conquer whatever mountains Raney has set in front of them.

The main character in Remember to Forget, Maggie Anderson, has been a victim of both mental and physical abuse for too long, since she's lived under the thumb of her controlling boyfriend for nearly two years. One day while on a liquor run for him, she's carjacked. For some this would be both frightening and devastating. For Maggie, who's wished for a way out for a long time, she sees the turn of events as the key to her freedom.

Maggie begins a journey cross-country and ends up in Clayburn Kansas. A sleepy little town seemingly lost in the past.

Trevor Ashlock is barely existing as he gets through the days dealing with the grief of his own past. He's surrounded by many painful memories of love and laughter that he wishes he could just block from his memory. Though Trevor has lost a great deal in his life he continues to seek God and try to find his way.

When a beautiful young woman named Meg turns up in his town, he's forced to face those old memories and contemplate if he's ready to move forward with his life.

Just as "Meg" is beginning to feel safe and released from her own tortured past, her chance for happiness seems to slip from her hands as a nearly forgotten enemy shows up on her doorstep.

Without spoiling the ending, I will say that Ms. Raney, as always, configured a beautiful, believable and satisfying ending. I only wish I could have stayed for a little longer with these memorable characters.

As Far as the East from the West

From the first chapter you envision Maggie as frightened, trapped girl who finds herself facing a life-changing decision in an unexpected moment.
As she runs from her past she enounters new people who seem kind, yet she cannot trust the motives of these strangers. It is only when she lands in the small town of Clayburn that she even dares to hope that there may be a future for her...but what will her new friends think when they find out the truth about her past? This story paints a clear picture of the unfortunately all too common abusive relationships in which women become trapped. It goes on to paint the oh-so-clear picture of the scope of God's mercy and grace, and how when we come to trust Him for everything, our past is as far as the East from the West.

An excellent book to pass on if you know anyone in a relationship where they are beaten down instead of lifted up.

A beautiful story of hope and healing

A woman's worst nightmare turns into an opportunity for freedom for Maggie Anderson. Her spirit has been crushed by an abusive boyfriend and when a carjacking provides her with an escape, Maggie grabs it and finds herself in the small town of Clayburn, Kansas.

Clayburn is a close knit town but its inhabitants have their own struggles especially grieving widower, Trevor Ashlock and the kindhearted Bart and Wren Johanssen, owners of Wren's Nest B & B. Maggie is welcomed by these people but will she ever find a home when the truth of her deception is revealed?

Deborah Raney has written a compelling story of Maggie's efforts to escape her broken past as she struggles with fear and anxiety trying to create a life she feels is undeserved. The pacing of the book is gentle and the story develops slowly creating a small town feel and contrasting with Maggie's frantic city life. Trevor's grief is palpable and the growth of both main characters is authentic and moving. Remember to Forget is a beautiful story of friendship, hope and love and is highly recommended. I am looking forward to the release of the sequel, Leaving November, which releases in March, 2008 from Howard Books/Simon & Schuster.
