When living through a traumatic event you'd think having a lapse of memory would be a blessing. But not remembering why you have feelings of dread and no knowledge of who or what is causing them is not reassuring but dangerous. In FOREVER CHRISTMAS we are kept in the dark searching for answers along with the characters.

On the run for her life Angel wakes up in a room surrounded by two complete strangers. One man is Gabe the deputy who rescued her from falling over a ravine and the other is the doctor who gives her the news that her memory loss will probably be temporary and not to worry. Somehow she knows this is definitely a cause for worry.

She also feels that Gabe must think her a bit crazy but although she has no reason to distrust him or any of these other seemingly lovely people; she has no reason to trust anybody. Luck had definitely been on "Angels" side when she landed in the town of Forever. This was a place where people care about their neighbors and as long as you are there you are never alone. Angel doesn't know why but not being alone sounds so good.

Recovering your memory takes time and patience with each memory like a building block. Hopefully the more you accumulate the larger the window of your past you can see. That's what Angel has to do -- find the building blocks of her life -- even if some are less than secure and safe. The big question is just who will she be once her memory returns.

What she discovers are talents that she can't explain but obviously part of the person she had been. So far Gabe is delighted with the layers that are being exposed but he fears there are some dark area being carefully hidden in Angel's subconscious. She is fearful and plagued with dreams that she cannot understand or remember once she awakens.

Gabe knows it is beyond foolish for him to start having feelings for this lost soul but there is something about Angel that touches a part of him that he long thought dead. His goals are simple. Safeguard this lovely young lady and hopefully once her memory returns there will be a place in her new memories for him.

Ferrarella cooks up a really cute story with just the right amount of sweet and tangy. She keeps us on our toes waiting for the mystery to be solved.
