The Memory Jar - eBook 4.3 5 25 25

I was hooked before the 1st chapter ended Tricia you had me hooked before the first chapter ended. The Memory Jar by Tricia Goyer was a very enjoyable book. I loved the whole idea of memory jars and thought it made this book all the more special in light of Sarah having lost her best friend. I liked how the reader is introduced to Sarah and her best friend, Patty as children and then are allowed inside their heads to understand them as people. Jathan was an Amish "knight in shining armor" and Sarah soon sees him in that role. The memory jar is about friendship, love, family and loyalty. I will be watching for the next books in the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers series. Tricia gets a high 5 for The Memory Jar. I received this book from Net Galley and Zondervan for my honest review. March 16, 2013

the memory jar This may look like a regular amish romance, but trust me, it's not. There is a depth to it, which is even more elegant, seen through the simple life of amish people. This is a story about loss. About fear and about shutting your feelings inside, and being scared of letting anyone get close. Our heroine, Sarah, may be a little simple at times, but at last she does get it right. And personally I believe that, amish or not, simple or not, it took guts to behave as she did at the second half of the book. The first half of the book, so to speak, is a gentle romance. Of the kind that refreshes you as you read it, and calms you, and warms your heart. Jathan is so big and strong and sensitive, and he is so protective of her, I just loved him. But then, in the second half of the book, the issues are kicked up a notch. Sarah has to leave her comfort zone, and she has to strike out and make desicions for herself. She has to be braver than ever before and she has to face the greatest fear of them all. Trusting others. And trusting God with her life. I loved this book, and the lessons it contains. I will only deduct one point because I didn't like the way Jathan behaved at the end, I thought he was weak and a coward and it was out of character for him. In fact, I thought it was a bit foolish how Sarah immediately took him back, somewhat immature. But other than that I completely recommend this book to those who have no problem reading about the amish way of life. Rating: 3/5 I received this book from Zondervan in exchange for an honest review. January 12, 2013

The Memory Jar I was enamored with this book from the start. Can you just imagine the commotion that these bachelors raise every spring when they arrive in this tiny community? I can just picture all those sweet young girls whispering and giggling together as they check out this yearÃ¢ÂÂs new crop of eligible men. It just makes me smile thinking about it. Since this is a Tricia Goyer book there are a couple of different things going on that she has masterfully woven together to create a satisfying story. Both of our main characters have back stories that affect the budding relationship between the two of them. Sarah canÃ¢ÂÂt seem to move past the loss of her best friend and Jathan has family obligations that he just canÃ¢ÂÂt find peace about. One of my favorite aspects of this story is when the two of them have conflict they actually talk about what is bothering them. Many authors use misunderstandings to push the story along. I prefer TriciaÃ¢ÂÂs approach to deepening the storyline and the characters themselves. By the end of the novel both Jathan and Sarah have matured in their walk of faith and in their relationships with others. Let me give you a little warning . . . this book is going to make you hungry! Hungry for the delicious sounding cupcakes that Sarah is famous for and hungry for the next book in the series. The Promise Box is the title of book two and is scheduled to come out in May 2013. I will definitely be looking forward to it. January 1, 2013

More than a sweet romance The Memory Jar is more than a sweet romance. Sarah and Jathan juggle the desires of family and community, their personal dreams, and following God's will. And Sarah also has important lessons to live about treasuring the past instead of dwelling in the past. Tricia Goyer's writing, as always, is engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.
