The Memory of Tears

Janie Buchanan has a dark sense of humor and a secret to hide. She has cancer – again – and she's set out on the latest globetrotting adventure to try and mark off more bucket list items.

Except what wasn't on the agenda was meeting Caspar Levander, a world-class thespian and specimen of pure male perfection, who has rudely followed her to an African conservation and interrupted her quest to help save a baby elephant.

And what is definitely, absolutely, most certainly, not on her list is falling in love.

Caspar Levander was living one show at a time, enjoying being the handsome hero of the stage and floating through life without any real plans to the contrary. Until one fateful day on a bridge, he encounters a beautifully weird woman who he feels strangely compelled to keep safe, no matter what continent she's on.

When the opportunity to cross off another experience arises, so comes the revelation that Janie isn't as strong as she's pretended to be. And maybe, just maybe, Cas has been sent to her not only as a refuge but as a reminder to not lean on her own understanding.

Travel the world and revisit old friends in the third and final book in the Levander Brothers trilogy!

*This novel is a complete stand-alone.*

"My mother passed away at the age of forty-three and a generations-deep risk of cancer loomed over my heart, sort of a when as opposed to an if. In my heart of hearts, I understood what Janie was going through and appreciated the author's skillful handling of delicate subjects such as terminal illness and faith with her own sensitivity and depth of understanding." Jamie Michelle for Reader's Favorite

"I was instantly drawn to Janie and her wicked sense of humor, which permeates the usually-fluffy romantic overtones of novels like these and gives it some darker, more realistic spaces to explore. The atmosphere and locations of the work are varied and cinematically rich, with lots of different experiences that put Janie and Caspar in amusing situations for their meet-cutes, growing the tension." K.C. Finn for Reader's Favorite

"Well, if you're looking for a full-on Christian romance with a side of serious armchair travel, you will not be disappointed..." Asher Syed for Reader's Favorite
