Remember Me Like This: A Novel

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
The New York Times Book Review â€¢ Esquire â€¢ BookPage

A gripping novel with the pace of a thriller but the nuanced characterization and deep empathy of some of the literary canonâ€™s most beloved novels, Remember Me Like This introduces Bret Anthony Johnston as one of the most gifted storytellers writing today. With his sophisticated and emotionally taut plot and his shimmering prose, Johnston reveals that only in caring for one another can we save ourselves.
Â
Four years have passed since Justin Campbellâ€™s disappearance, a tragedy that rocked the small town of Southport, Texas. Did he run away? Was he kidnapped? Did he drown in the bay? As the Campbells search for answers, they struggle to hold whatâ€™s left of their family together.
Â
Then, one afternoon, the impossible happens. The police call to report that Justin has been found only miles away, in the neighboring town, and, most important, he appears to be fine. Though the reunion is a miracle, Justinâ€™s homecoming exposes the deep rifts that have diminished his family, the wounds they all carry that may never fully heal. Trying to return to normal, his parents do their best to ease Justin back into his old life. But as thick summer heat takes hold, violent storms churn in the Gulf and in the Campbellsâ€™ hearts. When a reversal of fortune lays bare the familyâ€™s greatest fearsâ€”and offers perhaps the only hope for recoveryâ€”each of them must fight to keep the ties that bind them from permanently tearing apart.
