Forgotten
With the intrigue of ‘Memento’ and the romance of ‘The Time-Traveller’s Wife’, ‘Forgotten’ is the perfect YA novel. Here’s the thing about me: I can see the future in flashes, like memories. But my past is a blank.
I remember what I’ll wear tomorrow, and an argument that won’t happen until this afternoon. But I don’t know what I ate for dinner last night. I get by with the help of notes, my mom and my best friend Jamie, and the system works …Until now.
Everything’s falling apart. Jamie’s going of the rails. My mom is lying to me.
And I can’t see the boy I adore in my future. But today, I love him. And I never want to forget how much …Forgotten is the story of a girl for whom yesterday is lost, today is an adventure, and tomorrow is a memory.
An unforgettable read for Young Adults…..

Fallen Grace
Grace Parkes has just had to do a terrible thing. Having given birth to an illegitimate child, she has travelled to the famed Brookwood Cemetery to place her small infant’s body in a rich lady’s coffin. Following the advice of a kindly midwife, this is the only way that Grace can think of to give something at least to the little baby who died at birth, and to avoid the ignominy of a pauper’s grave.
Distraught and weeping, Grace meets two people at the cemetery: Mrs Emmeline Unwin and Mr James Solent. These two characters will have a profound affect upon Grace’s life. But Grace doesn’t know that yet.
For now, she has to suppress her grief and get on with the business of living: scraping together enough pennies selling watercress for rent and food; looking after her older sister, who is incapable of caring for herself; thwarting the manipulative and conscience-free Unwin family, who are as capable of running a lucrative funeral business as they are of defrauding a young woman of her fortune. A stunning evocation of life in Victorian London, with vivid and accurate depictions, ranging from the deprivation that the truly poor suffered to the unthinking luxuries enjoyed by the rich: all bound up with a pacy and thrilling plot, as Grace races to unravel the fraud about to be perpetrated against her and her sister.
