Mary Monroe’s New Book, REMEMBRANCE, “A Cozy Holiday Read!”

Mary Monroe, Remembrance, published by Kensington Publishing Corp

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Kensington’s got you covered when it comes to cozy holiday reads!

Remembrance a new book by Mary MonroeIn this moving, unforgettable novel from New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe, a successful, happily married mother suddenly finds herself feeling far from joyful. But Christmas brings an unexpected chance to rediscover herself, and what happiness really means.

For Beatrice Powell, the holidays are usually an extra-special time to celebrate. Between her twenty-year-plus marriage, gorgeous Berkeley, California, home, and three wonderful adult children, she has everything she could desire. But change-of-life doubts are making Beatrice a stranger to herself and her bewildered family. The only solace she can find is volunteering at the local soup kitchen, especially when helping out homeless Charles Davenport. Soon, his sensitivity and honesty comfort her in ways she never imagined.

Charles thought he had it all—until a devastating betrayal and the shattering loss of his family drove him to living on the streets. Beatrice is the first person who’s truly cared about him in a long time. And little by little, he’s finding reasons to care about rebuilding his life—and risking a sudden, courageous choice.

Drawn to Charles and the temptation of a second chance, Beatrice is faced with the hardest of decisions. But his insight, secrets—and the reminder of a profound past encounter—will give her unexpected inspiration, gratitude, and the strength she needs to find her way—perhaps in time for Christmas.

Remembrance, published by Kensington Publishing Corp., is now available everywhere books are sold.
