SYNOPSIS:
Georgie's new heart saved her life...but now
she's losing her mind.
Georgie Kendrick wakes up after a heart
transplant, but the organ beating in her chest doesn't seem to be in tune with
the rest of her body. Why does she have a sudden urge for strawberries when
she's been allergic for years? Why can't she remember last Christmas?
Driven to find her donor, Georgie discovers her
heart belonged to a girl her own age who fell out of the foster care system and
into a rough life on the streets. Everyone thinks she committed suicide, but
Georgie is compelled to find the truth - before she loses herself completely.

PRAISE
FOR THE FORGGETTING:
"[T]his story is a powerful
call to action. Yet even with its obvious motivation, it is never preachy.
Strong characters, a well-developed mystery and a budding romance all come
together to make this a story worth reading. Admirably and appropriately, Maggi
refuses to shy away from what Georgie uncovers, including drug use and graphic
scenes of sexual violence against children. Dark reality for sturdy
readers." - Kirkus
Reviews
"As long as teens buy into
the book’s premise, they will be drawn into its suspenseful, exciting story
that sheds light on an important social justice issue not often addressed in YA
fiction. This book is a solid purchase for its innovative subject matter." -
School Library Journal
Nicole was born in the suburbs of
upstate New York, and began writing poems about unicorns and rainbows at a very
early age. She detoured into acting, earned a BFA from Emerson College,
and moved to NYC where she performed in lots of off-off-off-Broadway
Shakespeare. After a decade of schlepping groceries on the subway, she
and her husband hightailed it to sunny Los Angeles, where they now reside,
surrounded by fruit trees, with their young daughter and two oddball
cats. She is also the author of THE TWIN WILLOWS TRILOGY, published by
Medallion Press. The first book, WINTER FALLS, is available now.
