Her co-worker and best friend, Whitney will do anything she can to help Maddy heal her broken heart. She convinces Maddy to agree to follow her instructions in a series of letters that will bring her out of her comfort zone and lead her to stand in front of a tough crowd to practice her dream of being a stand-up comedian. They also lead her to meet a handsome rock climbing instructor that just happens to fall head over heels for her. The Memories We Keep, is a journey of self-discovery and taking chances. It will make you laugh one minute and have you reaching for a tissue the next. It is a story of the depths of love and the pain and happiness that comes with living.
