Book Review: Remember Me When

A book was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Inspired by the biblical story of Abigail in 1 Samuel, a Christian woman stands up for what is right, despite life-threatening consequences.

When Faith married her husband Roger Nolan he seemed to be an upstanding businessman, owner of a remote mercantile outside the town of Bountiful, Oregon. But Faith quickly learned the truth-that her husband is dishonest in his business practices and likes his liquor, turning mean when he indulges. When Faith discovers that Roger has yet again failed to deliver critical winter supplies to Nathan Bartlett, owner of the nearby logging camp, she takes the order up the mountain herself. Furious, Roger confronts Faith when she returns, and she is knocked unconscious. When Faith wakes, she finds Roger dead in a pool of his own blood, and she soon stands accused of murder.


Having fought in the War Between the States, Nathan has seen enough violence to last a lifetime. He has always admired Faith's quiet strength and integrity and finds it hard to believe such a gentle woman capable of harming anyone. However, Nathan begins to struggle with his instinct to protect Faith when evidence mounts against her.

As more and more people begin to think Faith is guilty, only her trust in God can give her the hope she needs to survive this trial.

My Opinion
I have always loved books that tell a more modern tale of a Bible story because it really helps me relate to what the Bible characters went through and I never look at those characters as just "Bible stories" again! Remember me when helped me really understand what Abigail went through as I watched story unfold with Faith, Nathan and Roger in Remember Me When!

I love the late 1800's setting and the story line of this book: the heartbreak, hope, love, endurance, and faith kept me glued to the pages of this book to the very end!

Buy It: You can purchase Remember Me When for $11.25 from Amazon.com.

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


I recently found out that I am now a part of the Gold Emblem Taste Makers program from CVS/pharmacy and I am so thrilled to be one of their Gold Emblem Taste Makers! From time to time, I get to sample various tasty foods from the Gold Emblem line, exclusively available at CVS/pharmacy!


Recently, they sent me my first package of Gold Emblem snacks and I was so surprised when I opened the box and found this:


What a fun surprise! 

And best of all, the big car was filled with delicious Gold Emblem snacks!!! I love the packaging, my kids LOVE the car for their dolls and toys and my husband and I LOVED the snacks!


It had quite a variety of Gold Emblem snacks fit into the car and my mouth started watering with every snack that I pulled out!


My favorite snacks were the Dried Prunes (I love snacking on dried fruit!) and, of course, the Dark Chocolate bars (how did they know these are my favorite?? :) My husband LOVES the Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets and the Belgian Milk Chocolate bars! The other snacks were really good too and are perfect as a snack option to grab on your way out the door to your next beach trip, ball game or hike.

Even better, you can conveniently grab these delicious items at your neighborhood CVS/pharmacy on the way to your next activity. Never go hungry this summer at snack time with the great Gold Emblem snacks from CVS/pharmacy!
