Memory House

by Bette Lee Crosby

Overview

A MAGICAL LOVE STORY... Second edition, now with added content.

Memory House is a place where friendship turns to love, love lasts forever, and memories outlive their owner. Ophelia Browne knows this because she's been granted the unique gift of finding and caring for those forgotten memories. But now she's nearing ninety, and needs to find a successor - soon.

When broken-hearted Annie Cross shows up on the doorstep of The Memory House Bed and Breakfast, Ophelia knows she is the one. The two women forge a bond of friendship as they sip magical dandelion tea and share stories. When Annie starts to uncover new memories Ophelia is delighted, but then a thread of violence begins to unravel and she fears things have gone too far.

About the Author

USA Today Bestselling and Award-winning novelist Bette Lee Crosby's books are "Well-crafted storytelling populated by memorable characters caught up in equally memorable circumstances." - Midwest Book Review

The Seattle Post Intelligencer says Crosby's writing is, "A quirky mix of Southern flair, serious thoughts about important things in life and madcap adventures."

Samantha from Reader's Favorite raves, "Crosby writes the type of book you can't stop thinking about long after you put it down."

"Storytelling is in my blood," Crosby laughingly admits, "My mom was not a writer, but she was a captivating storyteller, so I find myself using bits and pieces of her voice in most everything I write."

It is the wit and wisdom of that Southern Mama Crosby brings to her works of fiction; the result is a delightful blend of humor, mystery and romance along with a cast of quirky charters who will steal your heart away. Her work was first recognized in 2006 when she received The National League of American Pen Women Award for a then unpublished manuscript.

memory House is a beautiful book about stories and perceptions; past lives and intertwined memories. Bette's writing is like a lovingly-crafted quilt. The characters are deep and magical, but also flawed and thus believable in how realistic they are.

Memory House is an incredible treat. It tells the story of Annie, a young woman who is in an unsettled point in her life, and her relationship with Ophelia, an older woman who can "feel" memories. The ending definitely left room to expand on the stories told in Memory House and I sincerely hope that happens.

Memory House is a masterful book that the author has laced with the wonderment of memories. It is easy to become lost within the opening pages of this story and I found myself still trying to turn pages at the end of the story because I wasn't ready for it to end!
