Book Description:
Allison O'Malley's plan is to go to grad school so she can get a good job and take care of her schizophrenic mother. She has carefully closed herself off from everything else, including a relationship with Ethan, who she's been in love with for as long as she can remember.
What is definitely not part of the plan is the return of her long-lost father, who claims he can bring Allison's mother back from the dark place her mind has gone. Allison doesn't trust her father, so why would she believe his stories about a long forgotten Irish people, the Tuatha de Danaan?
But truths have a way of revealing themselves. Secrets will eventually surface. And Allison must learn to set aside her plan and work with her father if there is even a small chance it could restore her mother's sanity.
The Forgotten
Ones
by Laura Howard takes place in a small town named Stoneville and follows 22-year-old
Allison O'Malley as she attempts to get into grad school while working and
taking care of her sick Mother. But all isn’t well in Allison’s world when her
long lost Father shows up with dangerous news that can help her Mother or
possibly get her killed.
I’m
not entirely sure I’ve processed this book yet. It was a pretty easy read and
while I liked most of the characters and their interactions I felt as if The Forgotten Ones was lacking
something. I liked Allison, she’s strong, determined, and stubborn. Definitely
my kind of girl, but I didn’t like that she felt so alone that she couldn’t
share how she was feeling about her Dad just showing up.
