MY THOUGHTS

Forgotten Memories is book one in the Wyoming Sunrise series that is written by Penny Zeller. This book drew me in within the first few pages. It is beautifully written. The book opens up in 1877 in Wyoming Territory. We see families traveling towards a fresh start. Annie Ledbetter and her family are almost to their new home. However, the wagon train is attacked by a group of outlaws.

Caleb had a rough upbringing. He never wanted to be a part of robbing wagon trains, but he was afraid to cross his brother. He by the Grace of God is given a fresh chance and settles into the town of Willow Falls. He has been forgiven and knows that God has forgiven him, but sometimes he is unsure if he has forgiven himself. Especially when Annie shows up 7 years later as the teacher of Willow Falls.

Annie is super excited to have been selected as the new teacher. Willow Falls is not far from her family and she is able to go home on weekends to be with her family. She is happy staying with the Reverend and his family. She even is excited about the possibility about a new relationship. Then she realizes where she recognizes Caleb from. Her whole world comes crashing down,

I really loved this story. This is a wonderful reminder of how much we are forgiven when we accept Jesus. We need to make sure we forgive ourselves and quit trying to pick up those sins and shames of our past and then how we react when others may not be so quick to forgive us.

The story is well written. I loved the characters. I cannot wait to read book two in the series. I have read this author before, and she is always historically accurate. Thank you to the author, publisher and JustRead for allowing me to read a copy of this story, all thoughts are my own.
