Jillian Thatcher has spent most of her life playing the family peacemaker, caught in the middle between her driven, talented older sister and her younger, spotlight-stealing twin sisters. Then on the night of her engagement party, a cancer diagnosis threatens to once again steal her chance to shine.
Now, Jillian’s on the road to recovery after finally finishing chemo and radiation, but residual effects of the treatment keep her from reclaiming her life as she’d hoped. And just when her dreams might be falling into place, a life-altering revelation from her husband sends her reeling again.
Will Jillian ever achieve her own dreams, or will she always be “just Jillian,” the less-than Thatcher sister? Can she count on her sisters as she tries to step into a stronger place, or are they stuck in their childhood roles forever?

Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Moments We Forget
Book Author: Beth Vogt
What do you like about this book:
"If I believe that - that God loves me - then what? . . . . . . .Then your story changes."
Jillian Thatcher Hennessy's story was all out of sequence. Her cancer diagnosis had rearranged her life, even stealing parts of it, and now no one; including her husband of one year, or her different- as-night-and-day sisters were capable of putting the pieces back together into anything that looked, or even felt, remotely familiar. But Jillian wasn't the only Thatcher sister with changes burrowing beneath the surface. Johanna and Payton had issues of their own to deal with.
Was it even possible to think that forging a deeper friendship between the older Johanna and the younger Payton, with Jillian always inhabiting the middle, could happen between the pages of a book that none of them ever read?
It was all about perspective, "the great equalizer". Or perhaps it was going to be all about a Person - the great promise keeper.
It's so refreshing to read a story that isn't, not does it try to be, all wrapped up into a neat little package. Life gives us moments that we want to remember, and moments that we certainly want to forget.
