A moving, mysterious, and unforgettable debut that blends maternal love, memory, and the mysteries of life and death.
 
In The Forgetting Time, Sharon Guskin delivers an extraordinary story that straddles the line between psychological drama and metaphysical mystery.
 
Noah, a four-year-old boy, remembers things he never experienced — a past life, another mother, another world. His single mother, Janie, is desperate for answers. When she meets Dr. Jerome Anderson, a psychologist facing the end of his career — and his own life — the two embark on a journey that will challenge everything they believe about science, faith, and love.
 
With compassion and imagination, Guskin explores the bond between mother and child, the persistence of memory, and the possibility that love transcends lifetimes. Told with emotional depth and haunting beauty, the novel intertwines science and spirituality, grief and hope, to create a narrative that is both intimate and universal.
 
Part literary fiction, part speculative mystery, The Forgetting Time invites readers to question what it means to remember — and to truly let go.
