Take Care of My Memories
Adelaide O'Loughlin has not had an easy childhood: her parents are divorced and constantly fighting, while she holds on to a family secret. She relies on her stepbrother, Zeke, and her horses to help keep her from falling apart. The day after she graduates high school, Adelaide packs her car and leaves everything and everyone behind. Five years later, she has made a new life for herself. She has a good job, a new horse, and two supportive friends. But no one knows her secret. When she starts having horrific nightmares about her childhood, she struggles to hold her life together. Adelaide's friends become worried about her, but she refuses to tell them of her old life. Then, after a nearâ€"fatal horse accident, Adelaide wakes up in the hospital with no memories from the past thirteen years. Adelaide is reunited with the family she doesn't remember leaving behind. She soon gets the feeling that they are hiding something from her. Adelaide begins to rely on Zeke to buffer her from the family's struggle to cope with her amnesia. Her family must make a difficult decision: tell her about the tragedies of her past, and risk it ruining her new life; or keep the secrets in order to hide the family's dark history. A story of overcoming demons, the real meaning of friendship, and the lengths family is willing to go to protect one another.
