A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover.

After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself.

The only person who hasn’t closed the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna’s daughter. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger is slowly becoming an important part of Kenna’s life, both would risk losing the trust of everyone important to them.

The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk. Kenna must find a way to absolve the mistakes of her past in order to build a future out of hope and healing.

Review: Reminders of Him

After five years in prison, a woman desperately hopes to connect with her young daughter, despite those intent on keeping her away.

Kenna Rowan is determined to make amends for a tragic mistake she’s been paying for since. After serving her time in prison, Kenna returns to the town where it all happened, and where her four-year-old daughter Diem lives with her ex’s parents.

They’ll do anything to keep her away, but she’s intent on proving herself, on getting to know the daughter taken away at birth.

With no money, no job and no one to advocate for her, Kenna latches on to her only friend—a local bar owner she meets when arriving in town. But the more Kenna uncovers about Ledger Ward, the more complicated the situation gets. As attraction between them intensifies, taking the shape of something more promising, everything unravels… sending Kenna’s efforts into a tailspin.

But if she’s to hope for a future with Diem and Ledger, Kenna must open old wounds and finally share what happened that night.

In her signature style, Hoover imbues romance, tension, and humor in perfect balance, bringing it all to life with evocative dialogue and depth. Exploring themes of guilt, grief, redemption and second chances, the story thrums with both sadness and hope alike, delivering a compelling and deeply intimate redemption story.

Another must-read in Colleen Hoover’s repertoire.
