A charming tale of discovering what really matters after everything is lost
Emma Tupper, a young lawyer with a bright future, falls ill on a trip to Africa. While recovering in a small village, a devastating earthquake hits, turning her one-month vacation into a six-month ordeal. When she’s finally able to return home, she’s shocked to find that her friends and colleagues believed she was dead and that life has gone on without her.
Can she pick up where she left off? Should she? As Emma struggles to recreate her old life, everyone around her thinks she should take the opportunity to change: her job, her relationships and even herself. But is she willing to sacrifice everything she worked so hard to build?
“An endearing story of discovery and transformation and the importance of turning lemons into lemonade.”—Booklist
“For fans of The Good Wife . . . . Forgotten is a pure page-turning pleasure.”—Gwendolen Gross, author of The Orphan Sister

But is she willing to sacrifice her job, her relationships, and everything else she worked so hard to build?
