"I remember the wind in the trees, softly whispering my name." How can one person fall apart so quickly? Surely a successful life should be a happy one? How much does the past really affect us? Is remembering the truth better than simply forgetting?When a tragedy tears open old wounds in her heart, a young English school teacher's life is turned upside down as the past floods into her present with all the force of a tidal wave. Falling apart, she has but one choice; learn to swim or drown in the memories. Those memories, however, are tied to people she can't quite walk away from; people that would rather see her slip under the surface and embrace the icy depths. The Forest is the story of Lydia Arkle and the summer that threatens to tear her life apart. Doubting her own mind and sometimes actively denying her past, Lydia must confront the horrors of her childhood to answer the most difficult question of her troubled life. Is it better to live in ignorance or die knowing the truth? Content Warning: This book contains difficult themes including suicide, abuse, and self-harm.
