Moments We Forget


About the Book



Book: Moments We Forget  
Author: Beth Vogt  
Genre: Contemporary fiction, woman’s fiction  
Release Date: May 7, 2019

Jillian Thatcher has spent most of her life playing the family peacemaker, caught in the middle between her driven, talented older sister and her younger, spotlight-stealing twin sisters. Then on the night of her engagement party, a cancer diagnosis threatens to once again steal her chance to shine. Now, Jillian’s on the road to recovery after finally finishing chemo and radiation, but residual effects of the treatment keep her from reclaiming her life as she’d hoped. And just when her dreams might be falling into place, a life-altering revelation from her husband sends her reeling again. Will Jillian ever achieve her own dreams, or will she always be “just Jillian,” the less-than Thatcher sister? Can she count on her sisters as she tries to step into a stronger place, or are they stuck in their childhood roles forever?

My Thoughts:  This is a compelling story about three sisters who all have the difficulties that they are overcoming.  Each one is on a journey that brings them back together again.  This is a story that the readers can get lost in, that can connect and relate to in each of their own lives.  The characters are real, with down to earth troubles that can happen at any time in our lives.    This is a story about coming together, letting the past go, looking forward to the future and of course, there is an element of forgiveness.   

 I do like that the gospel is given in this novel, the fact that we do need God in our lives is foremost to living a life worth living.  To those who don't know Christ, they can become lost or bitter during some of the circumstances that these sisters faced.  

 The writer has written a novel that is easy to read, the storyline flows well and she brings the reader into the story that makes it personal to the reader.

 I truly enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading more from Beth K. Vogt.

“A sister is like yourself in a different movie, a movie that stars you in a different life.”

I’m launching Moments We Forget, book two in the Thatcher Sisters series, and I’ve just turned in the final book in the series. I’d love to share book three’s title with you, but I don’t know what it is. (Of course, book three might have a final title by the time you read this—that’s part of the fun of prerelease deadlines.)
One thing I do know: the theme of “Little Women gone wrong” is woven through all of the books . . . thanks to the Thatcher sisters: Payton, Pepper, Jillian, and Johanna.
Sisters, be they real or imaginary, can be complicated.
Of course, there are sisters who have close relationships. They “get” each other and love doing life together.
But then there are the sister relationships that are like mismatched socks. Or those expensive jeans you loved in the store, but when you bring them home, they never quite live up to those moments in the dressing room.
Such are the Thatcher sisters. Johanna, Jillian, Payton, and Pepper grew up in the same family. They’re all tall. They love Broncos football and board games. But in so many ways their lives are like different movies because they each made different choices. Choices that changed and separated them. Moments We Forget continues to explore whether the Thatcher sisters can find a way to understand each other enough to bridge the distance between them.
