When nine-year-old Billy Jernigan watches his father ride away to fight for the Confederacy, the wound never heals. Left in Hardin County, Tennessee, with a struggling mother and six siblings, Billy grows up fast-driven by a restless need to escape the shadow of abandonment. After the Civil War, he joins the tide of young men heading west, carving a life in 1870s Texas where land is cheap and second chances feel possible. Yet every mile from home carries a cost. As Billy builds a future, he risks repeating the very losses that shaped him. Forgotten Lives is a powerful American saga spanning generations-tracing Billy's journey and the seventeen children who inherit its consequences in a story of family, legacy, and the price of becoming someone new.
