Dara had known for a long time that there was something wrong with Tommie. Meg knew as well. They'd seen the first signs of it about a year ago, and lately things appeared to be getting worse.
Long-buried secrets threaten to tear apart friendships and family in Paula Paul's poignant new novel, Forgetting Tommie.
Dara thought nothing would ever change between herself and her two best friends, Meg and Tommie.
Now retired, the three women have been incredibly close for decades.
But Tommie's rapid descent into early onset dementia forces Dara and Meg to make difficult decisions concerning her care, especially since Tommie's only daughter passed away years earlier.
Dara's future-and past-is thrown into questions, however, when she discovers that the father of Tommie's deceased daughter is none other than Dara's own husband.
Reeling at the magnitude of their betrayal, Dara flees to Las Vegas in a desperate effort to clear her head. There she meets a woman who, despite their differences, helps show Dara what she must do.
Can Dara overcome her anger and forgive a woman who is rapidly losing her grip on reality? And will she ever be able to forgive her cheating husband?
