Book Description
In this provocative, bitingly funny debut collection, people attempt to use technology to escape their uncontrollable feelings of grief or rage or despair, only to reveal their most flawed and human selves An architect draws questionable inspiration from her daughter’s birth defect. A content moderator for “the world’s biggest search engine,” who spends her days culling videos of beheadings and suicides, turns from stalking her rapist online to following him in real life. At a camp for recovering internet trolls, a sensitive misfit goes missing. A wounded mother raises the second incarnation of her child. In You Will Never Be Forgotten, Mary South explores how technology can both collapse our relationships from within and provide opportunities for genuine connection. Formally inventive, darkly absurdist, savagely critical of the increasingly fraught cultural climates we inhabit, these ten stories also find hope in fleeting interactions and moments of tenderness. They reveal our grotesque selfishness and our intense need for love and acceptance, and the psychic pain that either shuts us off or allows us to discover our deepest reaches of empathy. This incendiary debut marks the arrival of a perceptive, idiosyncratic, instantly recognizable voice in fiction—one that could only belong to Mary South.

Book Description
From Booklist Muchman was born in Berlin in 1933. In March 1939, she, her parents, and four relatives fled to Brussels to escape the Nazi regime. In 1942, Germany occupied Belgium, and Muchman's parents brought her and her cousin to the home of two Catholic women for safekeeping. Her parents were killed; she survived and was ultimately brought to the U.S., where she was adopted by an aunt and uncle in Chicago. Muchman grew up believing that her Jewish parents had abandoned her. In 1990, a box was discovered in her uncle's home that contained faded letters, documents, and old photographs; the letters had been written by her parents in the 1940s. "I finally was able to discover, in a deep, fundamental way, that my parents had loved me more than life itself," the author relates. This important book brings the enormous magnitude of the Holocaust down to a very personal level. It contains poignant black-and-white family photographs and reproductions of passports and other documents.

Book Description
"An assured, powerful novel that blends suspense and rich family drama...it is, in a word, unforgettable." --William Landay, author of DEFENDING JACOB Wendy Walker's All Is Not Forgotten begins in the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, where everything seems picture perfect. Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother, Charlotte, struggles to pretend this horrific event did not touch her carefully constructed world. As Tom and Charlotte seek help for their daughter, the fault lines within their marriage and their close-knit community emerge from the shadows where they have been hidden for years, and the relentless quest to find the monster who invaded their town - or perhaps lives among them - drive this psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.

Book Description
When you've lost a baby, the path you must travel is yours alone. There's no shortcut. No Bandaid. No silver lining. But by hearing from others who have walked that same path, the blackness is illuminated just a little. We've been there. We know how you feel. We can't change what's happened and we can't bring back your baby, but we can light your way through the dark. A note about this book: Never Forgotten is one of those special books that exists thanks to contributions from many authors who have so kindly shared their wealth of professional experience, loving words, personal stories, and poems with us. When Bec and I decided to produce this book, we reached out to women we knew and women we didn't via Mamamia.com.au and asked for contributions. We were overwhelmed with the response. Sorting through all of your stories was a heartbreaking task and while we and the book's amazing editor, Paula Ellery, wish we could have included every single one of them, the reality is that we received over 500 submissions and it would have been impossible to use them all. But all of your stories were incredibly touching and we thank you so much for sharing them with us. With that in mind, the authors and of Never Forgotten are many and include the following people: Mia Freedman Rebecca Sparrow Debra Bath, PhD, MAPS Deborah L. Davis, PhD Siân Horstead Lyndal Curtis Jarrod Maher Rhonda Mason Martine Oglethorpe Carly Marie Dudley Gary Sillett Dan MacDonald ... and over 100 parents and loved ones who reached out to us via our website and gave us permission to share their personal stories. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. We also want to thank the team at Netra Chetty Design who so generously gave their time and talent and created something so very beautiful. We never intended for this book to be a comprehensive resource guide of any kind-our aim was to share as many stories as we could to show grieving parents that they are not alone. But it soon became clear (through reading all of your stories) that there was a desperate need for helpful advice, along with information on support groups and other resources. So while the book has grown from what we originally intended, the focus is still on your stories, but they are now intertwined with articles that were either written especially for us or those that we were given permission to use from other sources. We hope that you will find some light through reading all of these words. And finally, this book was always a project of love and never intended for profit, and as such we are donating 100% of all profit to 'www.heartfelt.org.au' and 'www.sidsandkids.org'. Thanks for your support. by Mia Freedman and Rebecca Sparrow

At least not beyond the opulent walls of the opera house. Cast into a well at birth for being one of the magical few who can manipulate memories when people sing, she was saved by Cyril, the opera house’s owner. Since that day, he has given her sanctuary from the murderous world outside. All he asks in return is that she use her power to keep ticket sales high—and that she stay out of sight. For if anyone discovers she survived, Isda and Cyril would pay with their lives. But Isda breaks Cyril’s cardinal rule when she meets Emeric Rodin, a charming boy who throws her quiet, solitary life out of balance. His voice is unlike any she’s ever heard, but the real shock comes when she finds in his memories hints of a way to finally break free of her gilded prison. Haunted by this possibility, Isda spends more and more time with Emeric, searching for answers in his music and his past. But the price of freedom is steeper than Isda could ever know. For even as she struggles with her growing feelings for Emeric, she learns that in order to take charge of her own destiny, she must become the monster the world tried to drown in the first place.

Luke Henry is not someone you'd easily forget, yet try as she might, London can't find him in her memories of things to come. When London starts experiencing disturbing flashbacks, or flash-forwards, as the case may be, she realizes it's time to learn about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.
