The Story of a Man and a Hero, .......2007-08-30
I loved this book!
After one year of being announced "missing in action" Gabe Renault, a navy Seal, returns alive from the jaws of hell, after having been double crossed on enemy territory, in which one of his own team betrayed him. Gabe has endured a terrible year of torture. He has lost his memory, and does not remember the mission, or his wife and step daughter of 3 years. Upon his return Gabe begins to discover the kind of husband and father he was before his disappearance. He had always ignored Helen his wife, refusing to give her his love, or open up to her. He was always distant. He had even refused to legally adopt Helen's daughter Mallory, and been absent from Mallory's life for most of the time.
Helen Troy, is ready to rebuild her life. After one year of being MIA, her husband Gabe Renault was announced dead, just the week before. So it was with no small amount of shock that Helen learned that Gabe had just returned from the dead. She is wary of him, and she is bitter because of his mistreatment of her. While she had given him her love, he had ignored her and abandoned her, hence breaking her heart and shattering all the beautiful feelings she had harbored for him. Now she just wants to help him get better, and regain his memories, then they would get a divorce. He'll return to his life and work as a Seal, and she'll return to bask in her new gained independence. Helen is honest with Gabe, informing him that once he is better they will get a divorce.
And so the story starts, as Gabe struggles to come to terms with who he had been, and why. While this new "real" Gabe is not distant from his wife or daughter. He shows love, care and compassion towards them. Helen retains her wariness of him, as Gabe sets out to regain his family and prove to Helen that he really loves her. He just wants a second chance to prove to her how wrong he was. He had always assumed that allowing himself to feel and care would weaken him, but it was only his love for Helen that had sustained him through the terrible torture and imprisonment in the past year. Gabe loves his wife and his step daughter, and he will do all in his power to regain their affections and trust. They are the most important in his life, and nothing comes before them.
And we the readers get to see how Gabe and Helen get together, as they heal each other and have a chance at a new start. While Helen may seem a bit cold and distant through a good portion of the book, it was understandable due to her past experience with Gabe. And her fear that once Gabe regains his memories he would return to that distant man who had so callously broken her heart.
Gabe also has no memory of his last mission, leaving him vulnerable to the attacks of those who do not want him to remember. For someone is still out there waiting for the right moment to silence Gabe forever, before he can remember the truth and reveal it. This is the story of a hero and a man, who upon return from the jaws of hell, after one year, starts to rebuild his life on a journey of self discovery and love, while trying to stay alive and protect his family from a danger and an enemy he does not know. For only Gabe's memories can save him... if they do not kill him first...
A great romantic suspense read. Highly recommended!
If you like Suzanne Brockman's novels, you'll hate this.......2007-07-10
Wanting a light read to help pass the time on 5 hour airplane flight, I picked up Melton's FORGET ME NOT because a reviewer here compared it to Suzanne Brockman's navy SEALs books. Melton's plot is interesting: A navy SEAL escapes captivity and returns home with PTSD-induced amnesia after a year-long bout of brutal torture, but the SEAL's amnesia renders him vulnerable to the treasonous military who sold him out in the first place. Meanwhile, the SEAL's relationship with a wife he doesn't remember is turned upside-down when this once macho and emotionally distant man returns home emotionally vulnerable and in touch with what really matters in life. The problem with FORGET ME NOT, unfortunatley, is shoddy writing and unforgiveably poor research. Melton spends the entire book telling the reader how her characters feel, rather than showing us with action and dialogue. Also, Melton's phobic-like avoidance of the word "said" became annoying quite quickly. For example, in the span of
2 pages, her characters
"drawled," "muttered," "inquired," "interrupted," "encouraged," "asked, "prompted," "gasped," "agreed" - rather than "said." And her lack of research was way beyond lazy. For example, one character is introduced as a psychologist, then for a few chapters he's referred to as a psychiatrist, then he's referred to as a psychologist again. Does the author really not know the two professions are entirely different?
Where was Melton's editor???
Which brings me to another point: Why is it so difficult to find a well-written romance novel? It's books like this, published in draft form (by major publishing houses!), that give the romance genre a bad name. This is entirely the fault of the publishers. Rather than churning out a glut of unpolished, unedited novels, I wish they'd get themselves back into the business of publishing quality fiction.
That said, if it's a well-written romance with a military backdrop you're after, stick with Suzanne Brockman. (She probably edits her own work!)
Forget Me Not (Seal Team 12) (Warner Forever).......2007-03-26
Perfect Item & Fast Shipping. LOVE this author!
Oh..simply beautiful!.......2007-01-25
I wish I had read this book before Time To Run, because although that was a good book, it was nothing compared to Forget Me Not. This is a beautiful love story of a SEAL coming back home after a year of captivity and who has no memory of the past 3 years from the time he met his wife. Gabe is a wonderful hero and made me cheer for him when he sets out to win his wife again who I felt wasn't cold, but was just treading carefully after rejections in the past. This book has romance, suspense, and even some action and I couldn't have asked for more. Please read this book and experience the talent of Marliss Melton!

Elizabeth Lowell's FORGET ME NOT receives veteran Laural Merlington's strong professional acting voice and background as it tells of Alana Reeves, whose amnesia masks a terrible tragedy in her past. A man has now appeared to shake loose those memories - he's arrived to make Alana see truths and heal - and she finds herself compelled to follow him to the darkest corners of her heart in this warm romance.
Skip it.......2004-06-30
This book horribly boring. The plot and characters were so thin you could see through them. You learn nothing about the characters except how angry/scared they are--not even why they are supposed to love each other so much. I have read several other Elizabeth Lowell's and this book seemed like it was written by another, much less talented author. If you must read it, check it out of the library.
A bit, well, tepid really ............2003-10-31
Elizabeth Lowell has written some wonderful novels .... of the few I have read, I have really enjoyed Amber Beach, Pearl Cove, etc .... but when I started to read this book I realised quite soon into the book that it wasn't up to ELs usual standards!
Alana (our leading lady) is quite pathetic and Rafe Winter (her ex fiance ... who Alana thought was dead) while "nice" uses the line: "It's alright wildflower, I've come to take you home" far too often ... it starts to be a little irritating.
All in all, I think I don't like this story because amoung other things: the males talk condescendingly to Alana, as though she is an idiot (i.e. the conversation is easy enough to interpret but Alana is of course ignorant and confused ... and misses the most obvious thigns happening around her).
I absolutely looooooooooooove romance novels, so I am not dissappointed because anything in the book is romantic, rather that the storyline is rather tepid ... perhaps even boring in parts. This may be a result of reading EL books that are full of suspense, interesting factual information, and excellent and interesting storylines full of romance, hot sex scenes, and witty conversations! ... which this novel lacks.
This doesn't meet, in my opinion, ELs normally high standards! But, if you're a keen EL novel lover, I guess you might enjoy this, but certianly not as much as other novels that EL has written.
If this is your first EL, then this is certainly the worst EL novel I have ever read .... perhaps you should borrow it from the library before you think of purchasing it!
Good reading, Kristina
Forget Me Not? Forget this book!.......2003-05-05
What a waste of time. This book was nothing but complete drivel. The heroine (if she could be called that) was annoying, beyond fragile, as if she were the only person in the world to suffer disappointment. The hero was too good for her, but coddled her annoyingly so.
Don't waste your time. Pure ...
not the greatest.......2001-12-30
It was okay, I guess, but the plot was focused to much on her fear and loss of memory, rather than the romance between them. Maybe it's just me, but I thought it was actually rather boring. I wish I had gotten it from the library rather than bought it!

The whole series is like no other I have read, and probably will read. It is one of my favourite books and illustrates beautifully a type of life most of us will never experience...

A wonderful final installment. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I look forward to Jodi Lynn's next book.
Book Description
Forget Me Not explores the curious and centuries-old practice of strengthening the emotional appeal of photographs by embellishing them—with text, paint, frames, embroidery, fabric, string, hair, flowers, bullets, cigar wrappers, butterfly wings, and more—to create strange and often beautiful hybrid objects. Available now in paperback, this spellbinding book features color photographs of eighty such objects, extraordinary works of art, part memento, part obsessive assemblage, created by ordinary people from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth century.

"the desire to remember, and to be remembered".......2007-07-11
Batchen's book fills a crucial hole in the story of the history of photography, and his understanding of the medium of photography as more than a simply visual experience is refreshing.
From the mid 1800s to the early 1900s, photography was an extremely important tool for rememberance, arguably moreso than in the present day when there's so much photography that it seems disposable. Photographs were often embellished in elaborate frames, delicate lockets, and velvet-lined cases. Dried flowers, human hair, butterfly wings, and other elements were sometimes included with these images as an attempt to include something tactile, even more real than the photograph itself, in order to invoke a clearer memory and enhance the "immortality" of the person. Batchen uses some very fine examples of early tintypes, daguerreotypes, and various other early photo processes to make his points. The book is rather short, mostly because Batchen is a fantastic writer who is clear, concise, academic, and accessible all at the same time.
The only thing that I wish would have been touched upon in the book is the common practice of post-mortem photography in the 19th century. It would have been interesting to read Batchen's opinion of this practice and how it relates to the idea of memory and photography as it is discussed in this book.

Great!.......2006-11-06
It was quite interesting, I must admit. Her mother filming a documentary at her school? WOW!!! I would love the chance to be seen on camera, but Maddie? No! She tries her best to stay away from it and is angry with her mother for choosing her school. To find out if she ever even appears on camera, order it here from Amazon.ca. It is a must read!
I LOVE MADISON FINN SERIES!!.......2006-02-08

Anne Bashkiroff was a pioneer in the fight for Alzheimer’s awareness. Her dear husband, Sasha, suffered for nine years with this terrible brain- and soul-damaging illness. Anne was faced with unanswered questions, economic heartaches, and lonely nights of suffering. The consequences of Alzheimer's and the extended burden the disease places on families and caregivers was not fully known in the 1970s. Instead of giving up, Bashkiroff moved to make the world aware of the silent disease. Her strength and dedication led her to help establish the Family Survival Project. In 1997, she testified before First Lady Rosalynn Carter about the needs of caregivers. Bashkiroff turned her inward suffering to outward hope.

The best resource for Children's Church I have ever seen.......1999-11-06
This presents 24 different Bible stories in a format children can understand, and each story is presented from 6 different angles, depending upon the varied interests of the children and the leader. It works great for our children's church team. I have not seen any book that comes close to the practical applications in For-get-me-not Bible Stories. Great for home-school, too. Our team misplaced ours over the summer, so I'm ordering another one. We can use it over and over each year since the children are new in the class each year.
