Twenty-six years later, Deanna Iris and her son, Brent, move back to the town she grew up in--back where her secret began and her life changed forever.
As she is unpacking boxes, she receives a call from Officer Bates, stating her sister and son have been taken to Mendota Community Hospital after being critically injured in a car accident.
Sitting with her son, who is unconscious, and her sister, Sheila, who is in a coma, Deanna meets their doctor, who reminds her of someone she once knew. Could it be possible that Dr. Sheldon is her daughter, who Deanna was told died minutes after being born?
After meeting her old friend who knows about her secret and is later found murdered, Deanna receives a note in her mailbox ,telling her to leave town or she will suffer the same fate. What transpired all those years ago, and who is the mysterious woman she spots as she drives by her sister's house?
Will Deanna ever allow herself to be loved and to let go of the past? Or will searching for the answers lead to her death?

Wonderful Book
I absolutely loved this book. The only reason I am only giving it a 4 instead of 5 is because of format issues in the paperback, sentences were cut off and moved to the next line ect. As for the story line I give it a 5 :-) Every time I thought I had it figured out a new twist would come about, it kept me guessing right to the end. I could not put this book down (other than to go to work), I finished it within 24 hours of starting it. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery!
Nothing is As It Seems
`Not Forgotten' by Donna Zadunajsky is an enthralling story that keeps the reader guessing on every front. From the very first line of the opening it is clear that the main protagonist, Deanna Iris, has a mysterious past and while hints are provided consistently, the reader does not quite learn what this woman's mysterious background is. Because of this the reader is hooked early but when one set of questions is answered, even more mysteries ensue. So much of what appears to be real is, in fact, not real at all. It begins to look as if Deanna's life is as fragile as a house of cards just waiting to be scattered. Yet while for a time what is happening might seem to be smoke and mirrors, the explanations that come towards the end are satisfactory and convincing.
Perhaps answers might have arrived earlier were it not for the reluctance of some of the other characters - Deanna's mother, Hank the caretaker of the cemetery, and even the friendly policeman, Officer Bates - to answer Deanna's questions. There might be irritation in this for some readers who might be prompted to think, `For goodness, sake, why don't you just come out with it!!' but given the delicate nature of the truth, it can easily be understood that these people had only Deanna's interests at heart and they were trying to protect her from a truth that could be full of hurt.
I have one little niggle. When Deanna goes through a series of events and is reporting what happened to another character, the author allows her to go over the whole thing again in dialogue. This, of course, is what would happen in real life but in a novel it is unnecessary as far as the reader is concerned. It is time wasting and slows down the action.
