The Memory of Us
The romance story of the decade is coming
out just in time for summer. “The Memory of
Us” tells the story of a young woman coming of age in the
early 1900’s. Born
into a prominent
old moneyed protestant family, the
beautiful Julianne
Westcott has what
every girl wants– a
perfect life.
Camille Di Maio, Author
gland is decimated by the German Blitz, Julianne suffers a
tragic disfiguring accident. To protect those she loves (so
she feels), she leaves everything behind, disappears and
builds a new life and identity…until after 20 years of hiding, the truth is uncovered.
Is she brave enough to face
it and find love again?
Author, Camille Di Maio,
grabs the reader’s attention from the very beginning and you’ve got
to know more! Her writing style flows seamlessly
from the present to the
past and the characters
are hauntingly alive. This
is the story of two people brought together by a
great love and torn apart
by a great war.
That is until she discovers she has a twin brother! Born blind and deaf,
he was abandoned and
institutionalized since
birth. She begins to
visit him in secret and
there meets Irish Catholic groundskeeper, Kyle
McCarthy, who is studying to become a priest.
Inspired by a Beatles song
from the 60’s, you’ll guess
which one after the read.
Brilliantly written and conceived, I predict this book
will be on the New York
Times’ Best Seller List before the end of summer.
Torn between a life she
had been brought up to
live, the disillusionment
of her parents’ lie, Kyle’s
devotion to the Church,
and the intense feelings
their forbidden courtship has awakened in
her, Julianne knows she
must make a choice.
This is Di Maio’s first novel
and readers will be looking forward to reading her
next. She lives in San Antonio with her husband
Rob and their four beautiful children. She’s hard at
work and will soon be completing her second novel.
