Very Intense"Forgotten" is a heart-wrenching story. The author tackled new territory and topics not found in a typical novel. I couldn't read it in one sitting; it was just too emotional.Most of us have heard about a child found in a vehicle, and have wondered how it could happen.  After reading the book, I did some research on the Internet. This tragedy happens across all walks of society. The common link seems to be busy and tired caregivers. Does that sound like anyone you know? The tragedy is so common that it even has a name - Forgotten Baby Syndrome! How would anyone cope with the guilt?What is most disturbing is that the characters in this book start out as such a "normal" family. They could easily be your family or one you know. This book tackles the topic of how the unthinkable could have happened, and tells about a device available for prevention (an alarm).If you are a visual person (the type of person who needs to leave things in the line of sight to keep them in mind) this book will chill you to the core.Hopefully, public awareness will be raised by this book.  If a child is saved because of a conversation started by this book, it makes it worth the read.Note to the author - I was surprised to read you teach English. PLEASE read the entire book aloud and correct the errors before the next version is released. It's a great book, but the numerous errors were distracting.
