Forgotten Dark
About
The darkest secrets are the ones we keep from ourselves.
Grief-stricken widow Sally Lansdale turns to therapy to process her husband's sudden death. But counselor Ruth Lightfield uncovers something far more disturbing: repressed memories of a childhood defined by cruelty, confinement, and a father who vanished without a trace.
Through hypnosis and dream analysis, Sally descends into her fractured past—a wardrobe prison, a golden wheat field, and one terrible night that changed everything. As buried truths surface, Sally must confront not just what was done to her, but what she did. And whether some memories should remain forgotten.
From the author of ROSIE SHADOW and RACHEL'S GARDEN comes a haunting exploration of trauma, memory, and the ethical limits of therapy.
Perfect for fans of S.J. Watson, Fiona Barton and Alice LaPlante.
"A taut psychological thriller that explores the dangerous territory between remembering and forgetting. For fans of S.J. Watson and Alice LaPlante."
"Worthington masterfully builds tension through therapy sessions and repressed memories. A twisted exploration of trauma, ethics, and the secrets we bury."
"Part psychological thriller, part ethical dilemma - FORGOTTEN DARK asks whether some truths should stay buried. Gripping and morally complex."
