Description

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. They’ve bought their dream house in the Berkshires; their careers are on the upswing; and they have the world at their fingertips. They’ve never been so in love. They’ve never been happier. The only thing that’s missing is a baby--but Julie’s got a plan, and they’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 neighbor’s bathtub, Julie doesn’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 she’s pregnant with her assailant’s baby.

After . . .
Life is unmanageable for Julie. She can’t function in the world with a newborn, and she’s unable to be present for her husband, her family, her friends. Desperate to solve the mystery of what happened to her, Julie’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.

Using the pen name Emily Lindin, in 2013 Meghan founded The UnSlut Project, an online community where survivors of sexual abuse find solidarity through personal story sharing. She is the author of UnSlut: A Diary and a Memoir (Lerner, 2015), director of UnSlut: A Documentary Film (2016), and has been a featured guest on ABC with Katie Couric, CNN, Deutsche Welle, Radio Ireland, The Doctors, Al Jazeera America, and NPR's Here and Now.

Reviews

NIGHT, FORGOTTEN is an edge-of-your seat exploration of a dark subject-and I mean that in the best way possible. Tozer puts Julie and Owen at the centre of a heartbreaking event and then subverts your expectations of what is actually happening time and again. I stayed up way too late finishing this fast-paced read!
Catherine McKenzie, USA Today bestselling author of I’ll Never Tell and Six Weeks to Live

"An artfully crafted story about a disturbing topic, which Tozer manages sensitively as she leads up to one unforgettable twist that will leave readers gasping. Trigger warnings abound, yet hope springs eternal in Tozer’s telling.”
