With his sophisticated and emotionally taut plot and his shimmering prose, Johnston reveals that only in caring for one another can we save ourselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Four years have passed since Justin Campbell'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 what's left of their family together. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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, Justin'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 Campbells' hearts. When a reversal of fortune lays bare the family's greatest fears--and offers perhaps the only hope for recovery--each of them must fight to keep the ties that bind them from permanently tearing apart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eRemember Me Like This\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"An achingly beautiful and psychologically insightful portrait of a family . . .  a] fully immersive novel in which the language is luminous and the delivery almost flawless.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Riveting . . . flows like it was plotted by Dennis Lehane but feels like it was written by Jonathan Franzen.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Tremendously moving . . .
