Gaby decided to go back to the small hut they once shared together. It was
twelve years ago, that his father called the police on her brother and
father, forcing the family to leave the village. Gaby was forced at
sixteen years of age to leave the one boy she ever loved. They never
talked to one another again after that incident. The circumstances that
bring her back to tell him the truth are tearfully sad. She needs closure
or the hope that the love between them has not entirely died. It is a time
for remembering.
Remembering is a moving, tear jerker of a story. Gaby's life has always
been rough due to the criminal activities in her family and the outcome of
her love affair with the boy of her dreams. I felt the overwhelming pain
of her losses throughout the years, and Ann Whitfield did a wonderful job
portraying it to me in such a small amount of words. The boy, now a man
that she loved is a bit of a mystery. I never did learn his name, but then
it was not really that important in the end. A story with the special
message that is never too late to go back and confront your past. It might
just help you heal in the present.
