Once We Forget

By Elise Geither

Some memories fade slowly. Others disappear before we ever understand what we've lost.

When Rose's mother begins her descent into dementia, Rose finds herself consumed by fragments of a forgotten past - and the haunting image of a young girl with golden hair named Lily. Who was she? What happened? And what will it mean if the memory is lost forever?

Once We Forget is a moving and atmospheric novel that weaves together the tenderness of caregiving, the mystery of family secrets, and the quiet magic of a fairytale long buried. With echoes of Where the Crawdads Sing and the lyrical enchantment of Francesca Lia Block, Elise Geither delivers a story about what we carry, what we lose, and what we owe the people we love.

Perfect for book clubs. Unforgettable long after the last page.
