Overview

Unforgettable is an emotionally raw, character-driven story that explores the enduring impact of childhood trauma and the fierce resilience it takes to rise above it. At its heart, this is the story of Lara-a woman shaped by scars, saved by love, and in pursuit of her own healing. Told with a lyrical yet honest voice, the story begins in Lara's early childhood, where the shadow of her parent's emotional absence looms large. Her mother, Heidi, suffers from mental health issues that go untreated and misunderstood, leading her to unpredictable and often cruel behaviors. Lara's safe haven is her grandmother, Momo, a woman of few resources but abundant love-a quiet, grounding presence who gives Lara the strength to endure. The narrative follows Lara from adolescence into early adulthood as she tries to carve out a life of her own. She marries young, more in search of stability than love, and builds a new life away from the toxic chaos of her past. But emotional wounds do not vanish with distance, and her struggle continues-in her marriage, in motherhood, and in her reflection of self-worth. The journey of healing becomes more urgent when Momo is diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, slowly erasing the very person who held Lara together. The story reaches a powerful turning point when, years later, Lara-now approaching 40-sits in front of her laptop, attempting to write her story. As she reflects on her life, Lara confronts the paradox of memory: the pain it carries and the truth it preserves. She begins to understand that healing is not about forgetting-but remembering with purpose. Blending fiction and deeply personal truths, Unforgettable is not a traditional imagined tale-it is a powerful hybrid, rooted in lived experience, written with the soul of someone who has walked through fire and emerged determined to leave behind something meaningful. This book will resonate with women who have faced adversity, readers drawn to layered mother-daughter relationships, and anyone who's ever tried to rewrite the story life handed them. It is ultimately a celebration of survival, memory, and the relentless pursuit of wholeness-even when life feels like it's been written in fragments. Unforgettable is the first in a planned duology. The sequel will continue Lara's story into her later adulthood-through divorce, raising two daughters, and rediscovering herself through travel and teaching abroad. It is a journey of piecing herself back together from the remnants of the past and learning that even the most broken hearts can find peace again.
