Martha Lane's world is tilting. Her older sister moves back home to escape her failing marriage. Her parents constantly fight about money. Martha's newfound love for Russian makes her second-guess her women's studies major. And when she starts working at a craft store, she's stuck with Ian Berkley, a mixed-race adoptee from Korea, who's also a Christian. Martha lets him know she has issues with God and wards off Ian's attempts to reach out to her.
Then Ian asks Martha to be his last-minute date for a wedding, and she reluctantly agrees to go. Slowly, their awkward and heated conversations cool off and evolve into a friendship made of secrets, homemade food, and books. As Martha draws closer to God, the trauma from Ian's adoption and his relationship with his adoptive mom is destroying his own beliefs. Is this a crisis of faith, or is something deeper gripping him?
Told from dual perspectives, The Quiet Edge of Memory is a riveting story that portrays the fragility of young love and explores how our childhood scars shape who we are and what risks we must take to find healing.
