"An assured, powerful novel that blends suspense and rich family drama...it is, in a word, unforgettable." --William Landay, author of DEFENDING JACOB
It begins in the small, affluent town of Fairview, Connecticut, where everything seems picture perfect.
Until one night when young Jenny Kramer is attacked at a local party. In the hours immediately after, she is given a controversial drug to medically erase her memory of the violent assault. But, in the weeks and months that follow, as she heals from her physical wounds, and with no factual recall of the attack, Jenny struggles with her raging emotional memory. Her father, Tom, becomes obsessed with his inability to find her attacker and seek justice while her mother, Charlotte, struggles to pretend this horrific event did not touch her carefully constructed world.
As Tom and Charlotte seek help for their daughter, the fault lines within their marriage and their close-knit community emerge from the shadows where they have been hidden for years, and the relentless quest to find the monster who invaded their town - or perhaps lives among them - drive this psychological thriller to a shocking and unexpected conclusion.

Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of July 2016: Okay, I’m not going to sugar coat this—the first chapter is a doozy. You will read about a teenage girl named Jenny being attacked, and as you might expect it’s not a pretty picture. Now having said that, there’s a good chance that this chapter will be far less difficult than what probably just popped into your mind, so fear not and forge ahead. All Is Not Forgotten is narrated by the psychiatrist to whom the victim and her family turn when a controversial memory drug turns out to have unanticipated consequences. Over the course of the novel there are a myriad of secrets, dropped like bread crumbs by the one who hears them all. In this small, idyllic, Connecticut town there is plenty going on beneath the surface, particularly when it comes to the inner lives of the husbands and wives…Yes, there are a couple other brutal passages along the way but it’s worth wading through every one of them to reach the zinger at the end. --Seira Wilson, The Amazon Book Review

One of the best of 2016!
By Barbara McArthur
I grabbed this novel as soon as it arrived, and plunged in - so interesting were the comments of early readers. Definitely a departure from the repetitious plots of so many of today's bestsellers, All is Not Forgotten, is a deep, gripping page-turner that will leave you with much to think about. For starters, you will not learn the identity of the narrator until Chapter Seven. And, underlying the plot is a new treatment which is being used with PTSD sufferers and trauma victims, which is intended to erase all memory of the violent event. Add to this a psychiatrist, who treats a number of trauma victims, including Jenny, a local girl who has been raped - and who is a master puppeteer in manipulating desired responses to his therapy. Yikes!
Walker is a skilled writer, who keeps the story moving through the psychiatrist's therapy sessions with Jenny, her mother, Charlotte and father, Tom. Also receiving therapy is Sean, a PTSD victim, who becomes Jenny's friend when they find that they can share the experience of the "ghosts" of memory threads that haunt them. Alan Forrester, the psychiatrist, digs deeply into the backgrounds of all involved, and dredges up delicious fodder for all their reactions to the events of their lives. You will swear that, besides being an attorney, Walker has been a psychiatrist, so keen are her insights into the dynamics of a family confronted with a horrific situation. Add to all of this, life in a small town, where everybody knows everybody, and you have the perfect setting for cracks to develop in what seemed an idyllic foundation. There are many mysteries to solve besides who raped Jenny.
I was fortunate to be able to set life aside long enough to read this tantalizing novel in two days. A novel like this one comes along too seldom - one that keeps you on edge throughout, and leaves you thinking about the implications of the "treatment" at the basis of therapy for trauma victims. Is it really a benefit to victims to blank out all memory of their trauma? What are we really accomplishing when we use drugs to alter memory? We'll be hearing more about this technique in the years to come. In the meantime, here's an intriguing novel for supreme reading pleasure and something new to think about! Great writing...creative, innovative premise!

A story of a rape and its investigation... by an outsider with an agenda #firstpersonminor
By Deborah Cook (@ Debbish dot com)
This is very much the story of Jenny. Of her rape; her parents' decision to try to assist her to forget the attack and move on; and - on failing to do so - the resulting attempts to recover her memories of the night in question.
However... we're not in Jenny's head. At all. Ever. She's quoted - in police reports, second hand accounts and directly in interviews - but the entire story is delivered in first person (occasionally second) by Jenny's psychiatrist (Dr Forrester) who is initially on the periphery. It took some getting used to and for some time I wasn't sure if the approach was clever or confusing.
Jenny's decision to attempt to reacquire her memories coincide with a break in her rape case. New information comes to light and Jenny, her family and the police are keen for Forrester to play a role in helping to put her perpetrator behind bars.
However.... Forrester is a complex host for we readers. Seemingly objective in relaying much of the case, he ends up with a few secrets of his own.
And for me anyway - Forrester became less likeable. The straight talking narrator was fine, but by the time he meets Jenny and her parents and sees himself as their saviour we indeed realise he seems to have a bit of a god complex and is wonderfully (and not in a good way) arrogant.
My thoughts on this book varied throughout. In parts I found the good psychiatrist so icky that I just wanted to stop reading. At other times it seemed the outcome was going to be obvious, so I wanted to stop reading. As it happened, I wouldn't have picked the twists - as we're not entirely privy to everything, though given clues - but ultimately glad I kept going.

Intelligent Suspense
By Connie Mayo
All Is Not Forgotten is both a suspenseful page-turner and a thoughtful novel on the relationship between emotion and memory. Jenny is in 10th grade when she is brutally raped, and her parents decide to have the doctors administer a (fictional - for now) drug that will erase her memory of the event, but the cure doesn't fix the problem and arguably makes it worse. The story is the quest for her to reverse the effects of the drug - to regain her memory. And it's told from the point of view of the psychiatrist, who soon reveals himself to be a less than reliable narrator.
What makes this book better than the garden variety suspense novel is that there is real science going on in this arena. Researchers and doctors are experimenting with ways in which PTSD sufferers can get relief or prevent their suffering in the first place with drugs that modify or block memory, which makes this novel thought provoking as well as enjoyable.
Watch for the movie at some point in the future - produced by Reese Witherspoon!
