‘Deeply intriguing and provocative,… ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN is not to be missed’
–KARIN SLAUGHTER
Since the night she was attacked, Jenny Kramer hasn't been able to recall what happened. Her parents and the doctors saw to that. Her mother couldn’t prevent the terror in the woods, but she’s done all she can to stop it ruining Jenny’s life. The only thing that now bothers Jenny is the scar carved into her lower back. Which she can’t stop touching.
But if Jenny can’t remember her attacker, he can’t be caught. He could be the man next to her right now, the one who caught just her eye.
And he hasn’t forgotten anything…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The rape of 15-year-old Jenny Kramer in the well-to-do town of Fairview, Conn., propels this exceptional psychological thriller from Walker (Social Lives). The masked rapist wore a condom and was careful to leave no forensic evidence at the spot in the woods where he attacked Jenny after she wandered away from a party attended by nearly everyone in the 10th grade at Fairview High. Jenny's parents, Charlotte and Tom, have vastly different reactions to this horrible assault on their daughter. Charlotte worries about her social standing, while Tom wants vengeance. When a doctor suggests a medication that will erase Jenny's memory of the attack, Charlotte immediately agrees. As her parents grapple with their own emotional responses, they ignore Jenny's pain. Alan Forrester, the family's psychiatrist, provides the nonjudgmental, almost clinical narration. Forrester only wants to help the Kramers, but as Jenny's treatment continues, he fears that the investigation will implicate someone close to him. While secret after secret about the residents of Fairview add to the suspense, Forrester's secrets may be the most stunning of all. 250,000-copy first printing.

Fantastic
Kept me intrigued all the way through. I could not second guess this book.
A difficult book to read
Not a very nice subject and difficult to read at times. I got to a stage where I didn’t like the therapist and didn’t want to read any more. I even told someone what I was reading and my reluctance to finish it. However continue I did and believe me I never saw the end coming! The therapist went flying up in my estimations and at the end I had tears in my eyes and my hand over my mouth. The insight to human behaviour never ceases to amaze me. A very mind opening book.
Brilliant..
from the beginning to the end! Highly recommended.
