In a small town in Idaho’s idyllic wine country where the past looms large, can two people realize their individual dreams for the future . . . together?
Abandoned once too often, Brooklyn Meyers never intended to return to Thunder Creek, Idaho. Her hometown holds too many memories of heartache and rejection. But when her estranged husband Chad Hallston dies and leaves his family home and acreage to her and their ten-year-old daughter Alycia, it’s an opportunity to change their lives for the better—a chance Brooklyn can’t pass up, for Alycia’s sake if not her own.
Derek Johnson, Chad’s best friend since boyhood, isn’t keen on the return of Brooklyn Meyers to Thunder Creek. He still blames her for leading his friend astray. And now she has ruined his chance to buy the neighboring ten acres that would have allowed him to expand his organic farm. To add insult to injury, Chad’s dying request was that Derek become the father to Alycia that Chad never was. How can he keep that promise without also spending time with the girl’s mother?
Brought together by unexpected circumstances, Derek and Brooklyn must both confront challenges to their dreams and expectations. He must overcome long held misconceptions about Brooklyn, while she must learn to trust someone other than herself. And if they can do it, they just might discover that God has something better in mind than either of them ever imagined.

Book Title: You'll Think of Me
Book Author: Robin Lee Hatcher
What do you like about this book:
"She would not let uncertainty change her course. She would not let fear rule her heart. She wouldn't be ruled by her past."
Brooklyn Myers has worked very hard to become on overcomer; refusing to let a sad childhood, a husband's desertion and the challenges of being a single mom, destroy her spirit. When a voice from the past offers her a second chance and the opportunity to return to her home town of Thunder Creek, Idaho, she swallows her fears, packs her meager belongings and leaves Reno, Nevada in the rear view mirror. Certainly God has heard her prayers.
Deputy Derek Johnson is shocked to find his best friend's widow and daughter sitting on the side of the road in Thunder Creek, having travelled quite a distance before their dilapidated car finally ground to a halt. Common courtesy requires him to offer them a lift, but Derek never trusted Brooklyn and now it appears, among other things, that she has the capacity to stunt expansion dreams for his organic farm property. Then there is that letter, a dying man's request that Derek "father" the daughter he never knew, giving Derek a lot to think about.
Enjoy this lovely, lyrical, easy to read romance that has a lot of things going for it, if you read between the lines, for " a cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart".
