About this ebook
A gripping story of true love, grief, and hope from the critically acclaimed author of Casualties of Truth and ’Til the Well Runs Dry
September 11, 2015. Sylvia is a high-powered lawyer, living and breathing work in Washington, DC, while consulting with fertility doctors and adoption agencies in her desperate pursuit of motherhood. It is also the fourteenth anniversary of her husband Mitchell’s death, and she is unraveling. Still, she refuses to let anyone know how she is truly feeling. This includes her therapist, who urged Sylvia to speak to Mitchell as if he can hear her, recounting their story from its origins in order to face its tragic end.
By doing so, Sylvia lays bare the beating heart of an unforgettable love story that begins with a chance meeting in a bookstore and blossoms through a shared love of the written word, art, and discovery.
In this gorgeous, weeping, suspenseful tale that brings readers from DC to New York City to Trinidad, Lauren Francis-Sharma paints a masterful portrait of what it means to love, to wrestle with history, and to let go. A life-affirming novel, Ask Me to Remember is an indelible testament to the knotty nature of grief and the beautiful and unpredictable act of rebuilding oneself.
