Reminders of Him is a novel by Colleen Hoover about a young mother named Kenna Rowan who has just been released from prison after serving time for a drunk- drive incident that resulted in a fatal crash. She returns to the town where the accident happened, hoping to reconnect with her four-year-old daughter, but she faces strong resistance from the people in her daughter's life. The story follows Kenna’s efforts to rebuild trust and repair relationships, while a romance develops with Ledger Ward, a bar owner who becomes a key ally and source of support. The narrative unfolds around themes of forgiveness, redemption, guilt, and the long arc of healing after a traumatic past. Key elements you might find helpful:

• Plot arc: Kenna’s attempt to regain access to her daughter, the hurdles posed by Scotty’s family (the Landrys), and the evolving friendship and romance with Ledger.
• Characters: Kenna Rowan, Ledger Ward, Scotty’s parents (the Landrys), and Kenna’s daughter (whose name is not always foregrounded in summaries but is central to the emotional stakes).
• Tone and themes: bittersweet, emotionally intense, focused on second chances and personal accountability.
• Reception and impact: widely popular in contemporary romance circles; often discussed for its emotional pull and Hoover’s signature blend of angst and hopeful outcomes.

If you’d like, I can tailor a spoiler-free summary, a character guide, or a discussion of themes and motifs, or compare Reminders of Him to Hoover’s other works.
