~If you enjoy I Remember You, you'll love the entire Ruby's Place Christmas Collection.~Welcome to the Grand Reopening of Ruby's PlaceRob & Geena 4Ever 1987 - words carved into a sidewalk square in Sullivan, Missouri. Today, Rob and Geena have become little more than hazily remembered small-town gossip, a sweet story of first love between the high school bad boy and the smartest girl in the class. At least, until Professor Geena Barister returns home after her father's heart attack. Now, with so much time and distance having passed between them, it will take nothing short of a miracle to get the two to even speak again. As luck would have it, though, Ruby's Place is about to reopen. Ruby's, where the "spirits" are more than the dusty liquors in bottles behind the bar, and reunions of the heart are encouraged-no charge. For Rob and Geena (and anyone in Sullivan who enters the bar on its wintry opening night), love promises to be the specialty served on the house, while the endearing refrain of "I Remember You" plays on...~The Ruby's Place series doesn't necessarily have to be read in any particular sequence.
