BLURB FROM AMAZON

“An assured, powerful novel that blends suspense and rich family drama…it is, in a word, unforgettable.” –William Landay, author of DEFENDING JACOB
Wendy Walker’s All Is Not Forgotten begins in the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, where everything seems picture perfect.
Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother, Charlotte, struggles to pretend this horrific event did not touch her carefully constructed world.
As Tom and Charlotte seek help for their daughter, the fault lines within their marriage and their close-knit community emerge from the shadows where they have been hidden for years, and the relentless quest to find the monster who invaded their town – or perhaps lives among them – drive this psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.


I was given this book by a friend from slimming world and she said its a good book but took her ages to read this one as she felt she had missed some of the story as it normally takes her a week to finish a book and this one took her a month to read it but is one to persevere as the ending is something you need to read.

Could you read a book that is so graphic and heart breaking that you want to scream at the parents ‘why did you do that for’. Then this is the book for you. Would you do what Jenny’s parent’s did for her after her ordeal or would you get her the help she actually needs. Everyone deals with each situation differently we now this but would you do the same.

Jenny is at a party when she runs out upset cos the lad she likes is with another girl. Little did she now that the worst thing was to happen to her. After her ordeal her parents agree with the doctors to give her medication to help her forget what happened. But Jenny knows something is wrong and is now struggling on how to deal with it and cant understand what and she wonders why her parents are always upset. After Jenny tries to end her life they have to decide what to do.

Could a psychologist help recover her memory or would that cause to much pain for her. Would this help the police catch this monster?
Would it help all her family to come to terms with it themselves?
Would Jenny ever be able to life a normal life afterwards?
But if she new the truth behind the monster maybe she would see that she wasn’t suppose to be there or was she?
