This was my first Audrey Howard book. I don't know how I missed this author but I am going back for more. Sally Grimshaw is unlike any heroine I have met and one so real she leaps off the pages. This does not mean that I always liked what she was doing and agreed with how she faced situations. When faced with her biggest tragedy, I found myself angry at Sally but at no time could I abandon her. Audrey Howard has created characters of tremedous depth.

This is yet another example of Ms. Howard's ability to wrap you in a story that you cannot put down. A compelling page turner, Tommorrows Memories tells the tale of the Grimshaw Arms and, in particular, Sally Grimshaw, inkkeeper in all but name. When her feckless brother loses the home she loves, Sally must make her own way in the world...

The plot rises and falls like a rollercoaster and the character development is thorough and intriguing. I would highly recommend this book. To the earlier reviewer who asked why Ms. Howard would paint these characters in such a positive light only to show the negative outcome in a future novel, I say this -

That is what makes this author great! Her characters link up in many books and, much like in reality, nobody is perfect. A true Howard addict can spot the cross references when reading the books. Indeed, they look for them! There are several legendary(Fictitious)families whose names pop up in several of her novels.

Buy the book and set aside a long weekend. You won't regret it!

This book was an easy read and passed some time, but I don't see why Audrey Howard gets us to like the main character so much and then in a book set 20 years later the family is having a terrible time of it.
