Book Description:

Set in New England at the time of the American Bicentennial, The Way to Remember is the poignant story of a displaced young woman struggling to figure out who she is within the context of her hometown and the carefully masked dysfunction of her family. "Everything can be fixed by writing a check." Words to live by for Robin Fortune's wealthy father, until he can't buy her way back into college after she's expelled for dealing pot. Now he chooses not to speak to her anymore, but that's just one of the out-of-whack situations Robin's facing. At nineteen, she feels rudderless, working in a diner by day and sleeping with a buddy from high school by night - all so strange for her because she was always the one with the plan. While her college friends plotted how to ensnare husbands, she plotted a novel, which she scratched out into a series of spiral-bound notebooks she hides in the closet. But now, there's nothing. No vision, no future, no point. In fact, the only thing she feels she has to look forward to is that her favorite author, Maryana Capture, is paying a visit to the local Thousand Words bookstore. Robin surmises that if she can convince Maryana to help her get her novel published, she'll finally get herself back on track. Except that life never takes a straight path in this intensely satisfying coming-of-age novel.

I rated this book 4 ****'s 

A beautiful story of failure and perseverance

A typical story of a young woman who fell into a trap of illegal drugs. The will to survive and fix what she did wrong in her life by living in her self. A beautiful story of not giving up and perseverance. 

My very first book to read from the author. It is a slow pace until you reach the middle of the story. It a story of friendship, love, family, and dreams.  I liked how Robin so independent at a young age. She is a believer that dreams will come true. She is not a quitter. She fights what is right and never gives up. I adored her and hope that all the teenagers are like her with a passion for what she has. 

A story of an avid fan who has a dream of writing her own story. Everything in life is not easy but if you work hard, success is not far away.
