Remember Me, by Tracie Peterson, is book one in the Pictures of the Heart Series. It is a powerful Christian historical fiction that story grabbed my attention right from the start and kept me reading to the very end. It is a descriptive, well written story that contains faith, love, family issues,
Addie's family went to the Yukon to find gold. While there she met Issac, they vowed that they would wait for each other while he attended school and they would eventually marry. After her father's death, her brothers sold her to the brothel owner. At his death, she inherited all his belongs and fled to Seattle to get away from her brothers.
This is a powerful story that contains extreme family issues of abuse. I enjoyed reading this story and seeing how much Addie had changed and how strong she was. I also enjoyed the deep friendships she had developed and what extremes Issac would go to get her back. The thing that stand out to me in this story are how Addie felt she was damaged and unworthy because of her life in Yukon. But many people tried to tell her it was not her sin, but rather a sin against her.
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy of this book, this is my honest review.

Remember Me is such a touching story! I connected with Addie and rooted for her to overcome the past and thrive.
I believe all things happen for a reason. It isn’t just happenstance or coincidence that Addie and Isaac’s paths cross. God directs their paths. And God’s love isn’t conditional.
I love this starting over story. It showcases wonderful (and some not-so-wonderful) characters and a unique setting, and shares stirring spiritual truths. I learned a lot about the history of the gold rush, Brownie camera, the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Expo. And I just love it when a story teaches me something new.

"Remember me." Author Tracie Peterson shares a spell-binding tale of a young girl who can't forget her first love but knows that they can never be together again. How could someone as wonderful as Isaac Hansen ever love her after all of the pain and humiliation that she'd been forced to endure?
Remember Me tugged at my heart and triggered so many emotions, including anger, sorrow, and admiration. The story is set in 1909 Seattle, during the Alaska Yukon Pacific Expo, and Peterson weaves intriguing historical facts with an inspiring message of faith, hope, and forgiveness. It is a captivating historical romance, and I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

I loved Addie and Isaac. I loved that there was some romance and some intrigue in the story. I love that Addie regains her faith. I love that this story is centered around the Alaska Yukon Pacific Expo that took place in Seattle, Washington. I loved learning a little about the Brownie camera also.

This book is okay. Liked the bit about living in the Yukon and the gold rush. I didn't care for the violence in it. A book that shows love knows no bounds.

Beautiful and emotionally charged, this novel packs fantastic character growth and development into its pages. I really liked how Addie grew through her painful past and deepened her faith throughout the story. The theme of forgiveness is so central to the novel that it is woven in every chapter

Title: Remember Me (Pictures of the Heart #1)
Author: Tracie Peterson
Pages: 304
Year: 2023
Publisher: Bethany House
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Addie Bryant made a trip to the Yukon with her brothers and father when she was but 15 years old. During that hard time, she lost her father, and her
Isaac and his father have lived in the Yukon, opening a general store for the purpose of generating an income that will allow Isaac to seek higher education. While they are in the Yukon, Isaac meets Addie. When preparing to leave, he gives her a picture of himself with a carving on the back, “remember me.”
Hiram and Shep are Addie’s brothers who have served jail time for various crimes and are suspected of other crimes though they can’t be proven. Now, they have been released from prison. They have one goal and that is to find Addie and make her pay. These two miscreants have abused Addie and intend on taking all her money as well as making her go with them to California. When they show up at the expo in Seattle working on the ground crew, they find Addie, and the showdown begins!
In the first of her new series, Pictures of the Heart, readers will find a very touching story. At first, Addie is a victim of her brothers’ atrocities but soon she experiences just how real God is as well as His love. Pearl is a wonderful character who embraces Addie, showing her love in words and deeds. One of the reasons I wanted to read the story is because Addie’s story begins in the Yukon. But there is a much deeper thread running in the story, and that thread is redemption.
I highly recommend reading Remember Me, in preparation for the future books coming in 2023: Finding Us and Knowing You. Grab a copy and share with others this moving story of redemption and unfailing love!

This was a sweet story of young love that remains true even through separation and adversity. This inspirational novel teaches of God's love, forgiveness, and protection during tough times. I especially enjoyed the reference to the exposition and all the wonderful new things that were introduced at a time of great advancements as well as the teaching of the history of the gold rush. To imagine never having a camera and how awed people must have been to think that they could own their very own Brownie and take their own photos!
