An emotional roller-coaster ride! That is the easiest way to describe The Heart of Memory. The entire book was a ride through emotional highs and lows.
I was intrigued as I read this book and it grew as the plot developed. The book held my attention quite well, especially since the story was based mainly on what was happening within each of the characters. The story walks through the faith journey of Savannah primarily, but includes the struggles of her husband and daughter. The book had several surprising turns in the plot and several times I was quite shocked at the actions of Savannah (though given her circumstances they made sense.)
The book covered a lot of tough issues. Faith struggles, financial problems that are quickly falling apart, relationships, trust, throw in a heart transplant with miles of baggage and there are layers of tension riveting their way through the story.
I thought the ending was great closure for the book. With so much going on through the story, not every single thread was 100% sealed, but the closure of the story worked the best for the characters and their growth. I was satisfied.
I thought The Heart of Memory was a good story filled with many elements, but underlying messages that readers will easily relate to.

An excellent book! It is the story of Savannah, a woman of faith (and a well known author and speaker), who has to have a heart transplant and wakes up from surgery with no faith and a cold, bitter anger. Many issues and problems to overcome. Recommended!
