His courtship of Aubrey McCart begins with innocent fascination. Aubrey delights in knowing everything and sharing with everyone. She skims along the beach just as driftwood: with no anchor, but picking up experience amid the turbulence. Aubrey is almost invisible in her father's eyes; her older brother is lauded as the father's favorite. Sam wants to protect Aubrey and to show her life offers more than second hand love. The pair stay in contact through letters as their lives move in different directions.

When Sam decides Aubrey is his true love, he races to propose. Aubrey's beach house stands empty. Sam has no choice but to continue his life without her. His peace returns as he pastors his congregation. But life becomes complicated as Sam finds himself in the middle of daydreaming of Aubrey, the church's board's insistence he take his sabbatical, and the problems of his sister's angry teenager. Did Sam choose the right path? Why does he doubt his faith when everyone needs him the most?

Sam takes his sabbatical: a return to Piddock Beach where his youthful optimism began. He yearns for the time when he knew his life's work and his love for Aubrey. Is it destiny when Sam finds Aubrey there after all these years? Does she remember their relationship as he has?

Author Deborah Bedford writes an elaborate story of the many facets of love. Her prose gently guides the reader with details showing life's truths. Readers will feel they are standing next to Sam as he first kisses Aubrey, to the time Sam searches the beach for familiar sights years later. Bedford's characters are rich in emotion. Remember Me will have readers reflecting on the story's characters and pondering their own chosen paths.
