Jody Lisberger’s provocatively titled short story collection will make readers wonder just how and when they should ‘remember love.’ As trauma, as what persists, as what confines, as what liberates, as what disappoints, as what we live for? And what shapes do our loves assume in all their infinite variety? Not only the human content but the aesthetic form of these accomplished stories make them worthy of profound attention.
Remember Love edition by Jody Lisberger Literature Fiction eBooks
Trinidad Salem loves his wife, Dominique, very much, but when helearns of a secret she had been keeping since they've know each other,
Trin felt deeply betrayed and angry-so much so, that he demands a
divorce. However, before anything could be resolved between them, Dom
was presumed dead in a tragic plane crash. Totally devastated at the
loss of his wife, Trin turned to his work and sought out professional
help to deal with his anger and bereavement. Then about a year later,
Trin receives some unbelievable news - Dom is alive! Ecstatic, Trin
immediately rushes to her side only to learn that Dom has no memory of
him or their marriage. Because. Not about to let a second chance at
his marriage slip through his fingers, Trin begins to court Dom,
hoping that one day soon she will regain her memory and they could
resolve the issue that threatened to tear them apart.
Dominique awakens in a hospital with no recollection of who she is or
how she got there. And, then a handsome stranger appears claiming
that he was her husband and that they were very much in love.
Attracted to him from the start, Dom allows herself to be romanced by
Trin. However, her newly found happiness is short-lived when Dom has
a minor head banging accident that causes her to regain her memory.
Now, Dom realizes that before her amnesia, her marriage was on a
downward spiral and very close to a divorce because of a secret from
her past.
Is all hope lost or will Dom and Trin be able to mend their broken
marriage before the point of no return?
The plot in Remember Love circles around two main issues - secrets and
anger. The heroine was keeping a secret that caused major destruction
to her marriage which leads to the hero unable to maintain control
over his rage and being on the verge of expressing a violent behavior.
Although, Dom should not have kept the secret, I could totally
understand the reason why she chose not to tell Trin. She knew Trin
would be heartbroken and she did not want to cause him unnecessary
emotional pain and heartache. Nevertheless, she never would have
imagined his reaction to be as such. And, if the secret from her past
wasn't a big enough conflict, Dom's job as an investigative reporter
caused even more havoc on their relationship, because Dom's new
assignment was to investigate the company where Trin was the CEO.
Yikes! There are some sexual scenes throughout the book, but they are
vanilla and gently described. Remember Love is AlTonya Washington's
debut novel and I found it to be a pleasant, enlighten read.

Remember Love edition by Jody Lisberger Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I read Lisberger's Remember Love several months ago and the characters are still with me. This fine collection of stories grabbed ahold from the very first page and didn't let go. I'll be buying a few extra copies to give to friends who love honesty of characters set in complex situations, beautiful and intelligent writing, and stories where the endings leave you breathless.
Ms Washington is a writer every serious reader should watch. This book was such a great experience that I have placed her on a similar pedestal to that of Brenda Jackson and Francis Ray.
This book held me from the moment I read the introductory summary on the back and I was NOT disappointed when I read the first chapter and the last.
The romantic storyline has a twist it deals with love, trust, betrayal, jealousy, abuse and fear - AWESOME - while not distracting from the core ... a romantic love story.
The characters are interesting and life like - a job well done.
Trust me - buy this book, it is worth it!
I cannot wait to read her next book.
In the title story of Remember Love, Becca says, "Be careful with that word . . . Don't use it for nothing . . . Don't throw it around." She's talking about "love". And these stories are about love, about the affairs and condition of the human heart. The characters inhabiting Remember Love take dance lessons, go fishing, jump off bridges; they are at times tender, merciless, sophisticated and naive. Jody Lisberger's writing is deeply, relentlessly honest, as her characters explore, with body, mind and soul, the nature of human relationships.
Readers young and old will be talking about these stories long after they close the covers, making this a great choice for book groups.
At the complications of even trying to love. I read this book nearly a year ago, and the stories stick with me. They surprise with their naked examination of human vulnerability in ordinary, and sometimes extraordinary circumstances. The author let the characters care -- deeply -- about the rifts and tears in human relationships. Despite disappointments, they never lose their essential idealism in the face of disillussion. My only complaint is that some of the stories cried out to be expanded into full length works --I look forward to a novel from this author.
ALTonya Washington is a very complete writer, and provides her readers with the full monty; in that she develops her characters completely, leaving no loose ends. This gives her stories, and the people who read them, a feeling of caring and, also displays the skills she has as a writer. I recently discovered this author, and subsequently ordered three more of her books on the spot! I found the same trend in each book! ALTonya has a reader in me as long as she stays true to this writing style.
This review applies to Remember Love
A Lover's Dream
and
Love Scheme
Dominique & Trinidad's story was one of almost losing, and find love again. I am glad they were able to work through their differences. I won't give away the story, I encourage you to read the book. I am a big Altonya Washington fan, and have read all of her books. This one and "Admission of Love" are my favorites!
I had purchased this collection of short stories for a fiction writing class at college. Aside from the painstaking task of analyzing why her stories were exceptionally well written as fiction, the stories themselves were what made the class enjoyable for me. One of the greatest effects that Lisberger accomplishes is being able to bring the feelings and emotions of the character straight to your own heart. The description and plot developments in these stories take you away from who you are and make you live the lives of the characters. If you want to see great writing, or want to substitute reality for awhile with a great collection of fiction, Lisberger's "Remember Love" will provide.
