Sammy Thoreau is in pain, both physically and mentally. Torn between the confusing present and distant past, he can't remember much of the time in between. His teen years are fresh in his mind yet he looks like a much older man.
Dr. Rachel Collins helps others. Her life is far from perfect but when she meets Sammy for the first time she sees a spark of life. He has been given up by her peers but she thinks she can help him.
Theresa Weir does a fantastic job of taking a wounded man and allowing a strong female to mend him. Most of the time the hero in her books is fractured: mentally, physically and/or spiritually. He needs to find a connection.
Like real life, relationships have their ups and downs. Sammy starts out as the weaker soul and Rachel is the determined one. Slowly, with her help, he becomes better. He learns to deal with the many memories that are lost.
Ethics could have come into play but by then Sammy is on his own. Eventually Rachel starts to break. She has secrets from her past that she has a hard time letting go. With Sammy's help she starts to heal. Their roles are reversed and this is their story. The first of two books about the Thoreau siblings, FOREVER tugs at your heart. Take note and have ONE FINE DAY ready so you can read about Molly's story when you finish this one.
