"FORGET ME NOT, a painful, beautiful and truthful memoir...Jennifer Lowe-Anker is a fluid and expressive observer of substantive, named details in nature, the minute study of which she and Alex shared, and of their lives. The book is most revelatory."
Publishers Weekly
"Partly a women's memoir and partly an exotic travel adventure story."
Bozeman (MT) Daily Chronicle
"Lowe-Anker said that a woman who had read an advanced copy of the book told her at a recent outdoor-retailer trade show that it was the most meaningful book she'd ever read. Having lost a climbing partner herself, the woman said, the book gave her hope."

Outside Magazine
"Honest memoir."
Gripped Magazine
"Given Alex Lowe's high profile as one of the world's best climbers, it stands to reason that several notable authors [are] qualified to recount his life and accomplishments in the first book following his tragic death below a massive avalanche on Shishapangma. But no one is more qualified than his widow, Jennifer Lowe-Anker… Jennifer delivers a candid glimpse into the life of a driving and complicated force otherwise known as Stewart Alexander Lowe."
The Bozeman Tributary
"After reading Jennifer Lowe-Anker's memoir
Forget Me Not, I now realize that - while others could describe individual puzzle pieces - she is the only one who truly knew how all those pieces fit together… what Jenni offers is a remarkably honest and unvarnished view of her life experiences with Alex. It is a tale of soaring achievements mixed with heartbreak and tragedy, played out on the wildest mountain ranges on the planet and in their Bozeman home…
A beautifully written memoir."
The Hartford Courant
"In 1999, her husband Alex Lowe, a renowned mountaineer, died during an avalanche on Shishapangma in the Himalayas, leaving her with three children. She used his letter and expedition notes to create this moving account of his life and how she dealt with her loss."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"A heartfelt memoir."
By: Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea
Forget Me Not is a moving tribute, written with candor and grace, that warms the heart and inspires the soul long after the last page is turned.
By: Tom Brokaw,
Forget me Not will stay with your forever. It is a beautifully written story of great love, great daring, great loss, and great recovery. Most of all, it is a story of great courage.
Outside Bozeman
"
Forget Me Not is a sweet, honest, and heartfelt recount of Jenni's life… Jenni's words flow freely and truthfully, recounting both good and bad, pain and joy in her life with Alex. What is perhaps most poignant is her love of place, of Montana, of the wildflower fields of her youth, and of summer days spent with her grandmother in the land she loves. This is a story of true love, in many different regards."

"Jennifer Lowe-Anker, has written a well-received book about her life with Alex Lowe."
Jackson Hole News & Guide
"The 2008 memoir
Forget Me Not has more epic, archetypal stuff flowing through it than a Greek classic, and yet it is a book of nonfiction that reads almost like a fable for modern living in villages like ours."
