It's the summer of 1965, and Jessie Reynolds and her friends at church head out on their annual choir trip. During the trip, her first romance develops for her and, as the summer comes to a close, Jessie is excited to begin her junior year in high school and share the news of her relationship with school friends. Then, out of the blue, Carter Powell, a senior member of the Northwest High football team wedges his way into her life. From a family background very different from Jessie's, Carter's entrance into the picture interrupts Jessie's pre-laid plans for the future and catapults her into an adolescent journey of friendship, maturity and love. Based on a true story from the mid-to-late 1960s, this coming-of-age novel with an Atlanta backdrop will spark memories of people and places, some of which no longer exist, and provide a basis for understanding what it was like to grow up in the capital city of the South during one of the most tumultuous decades in our country's history, including the arrival of the Beatles and the specter of Vietnam...but most of all, it will remind us once again that our first true loves will remain with us always.

Days before her heart transplant, she vows to change her ways and she renews her relationship with Christ. But when she awakens from the surgery, Savannah discovers that her faith has left her completely. Savannah’s husband, Shaun, is concerned about his wife's odd behavior—and even more concerned about the secret he’s keeping from her. If she doesn't bring down their ministry, then he might, losing his family in the process. A stranger may hold the answer to Savannah's recovery, but is Savannah strong enough to return to her old way of life? Can Shaun right his wrongs before word gets out? And do either one of them remember how to be who they once were—or who they want to be? In this latest relational drama from Alison Strobel, readers will explore the difference between emotional faith and life-giving truth as Savannah wonders if she can ever trust her heart again.

So the memory book is born: a journal written to Sammie's future self. It's where she'll record every perfect detail of her first date with longtime-crush Stuart, and where she'll admit how much she's missed her childhood friend Cooper. The memory book will ensure Sammie never forgets the most important parts of her life-the people who have broken her heart, and those who have mended it. If Sammie's going to die, she's going to die living.

Memory Mambo describes the life of Juani Casas, a 25-year-old Cuban-born American lesbian who manages her family's laundromat in Chicago while trying to cope with family, work, love, sex, and the weirdness of North American culture. Achy Obejas's writing is sharp and mordantly funny. She understands perfectly how the romance of exile—from a homeland as well as from heterosexuality—and the mundane reality of everyday life balance one another. Memory Mambo is ultimately very moving in its depiction of what it means to find a new and finally safe sense of home.
