Product Description
From Booklist
Dani is struggling with the emotional fallout from her mother's recent passing, the imminent departure of her beloved son for college, and her wheelchair-bound husband Brian's isolationist tendencies when she purchases a horse and learns to ride, a lifelong ambition. Her growing friendship with Ray Crowley, a sad and lonely man 22 years her senior, becomes her lifeline, and matters gradually escalate until Dani's fall from a spooked horse brings matters to a crisis point. Ray declares himself, and Brian, trying to do right by Dani, encourages her to follow her heart but effectively leaves her feeling abandoned. Tatara's leisurely exploration of a woman's internal journey--as her life begins to come apart, is put back together, and slowly unravels again--is an emotionally intense tour de force by a debut author.

Deep character study, Jun 3 2007
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Remember Me (Hardcover)
She is only forty years old but Dani Monroe feels life has passed her by. Her husband Brian was in an automobile accident that left home paralyzed and impotent unable to be the kind of husband he once was for her. He withdrew from her and others and although he stays at home, he takes very little part in family life. Their son Trace is going to college and though she is happy for him, she knows her life will become even more sterile.
She buys a horse and gets a new enthusiasm for life. Ray Crawley, a sixty-two old man enters her life and gives her the love and attention she desperately needs. She feels he is her soulmate and with Brian's permission begin a glorious love affair even though she is wracked by guilt because she is caught between two different lives. When Ray disappears due a misunderstanding, Dani falls into a depression that takes months to recover from but then Brian is lost to her forcing her to strengthen her fortitude to go on living and enjoying life once again.
Some novels make an indelible mark on the heart because they are soul rendering poignant; REMEMBER ME is one such book. Readers' hearts will go out to Dani who tries so hard with Brian only to be met with disinterest and avoidance. Her love for Ray and his for her is something that only comes along once in a lifetime and despite the twenty-two year age difference they make a beautiful couple. Readers will run the gamut of emotions from total happiness to intense sorrow as they see deep inside Dani knowing just how she feels.
