Grenadine Scotch Wild has been in foster care since she was five years old. She remembers little about her real parents, but she's built a good life in spite of her past. Eighteen months into her marriage to well-known investor Covey Hamilton, that world comes crashing down. Covey is arrested for fraud and embezzlement — and Grenadine, who unknowingly signed incriminating papers, is facing jail time. While she awaits trial, she moves to central Oregon and finds work as a bartender and as an assistant to a furniture maker. But as she pieces together the family she always wanted, she must also face the crushing truth about her real parents and her past. What I Remember Most (Kensington) is the new novel from Cathy Lamb, author of the acclaimed Julia's Chocolates.

Balancing work, kids, dating, step-parenting, money issues, and aging, the Stones struggle with the same issues we all face in life.
