Night, Forgotten - Paperback

by Megan Joyce Tozer (Author)

A dramatic and undeniably addictive psychological thriller about a young woman whose life changes in an instant, and nothing is ever the same.

Before . . .

Life is idyllic for Julie Porter and her husband Owen. Theyâ (TM)ve bought their dream house in the Berkshires; their careers are on the upswing; and they have the world at their fingertips. Theyâ (TM)ve never been so in love. Theyâ (TM)ve never been happier. The only thing thatâ (TM)s missing is a baby--but Julieâ (TM)s got a plan, and theyâ (TM)re right on schedule.

Until Owen falls ill with food poisoning, leaving Julie to attend a neighborhood holiday party alone. When she wakes up, half-naked in her neighborâ (TM)s bathtub, Julie doesnâ (TM)t know how to tell Owen, the police, her friends--anyone--that she has been sexually assaulted. So she keeps it secret until she realizes that sheâ (TM)s pregnant with her assailantâ (TM)s baby.

After . . .

Life is unmanageable for Julie. She canâ (TM)t function in the world with a newborn, and sheâ (TM)s unable to be present for her husband, her family, her friends. Desperate to solve the mystery of what happened to her, Julieâ (TM)s driven to more and more erratic behaviour, until the truth about that night is revealed. Afterward, no one will be the same ever again. Not Owen. Not the baby. And especially not Julie.
