A Forgotten Tomorrow

Author(s): Teresa Schaeffer

Young Adult Fiction

Part of the "Cutting Edge" series, "A Forgotten Tomorrow" is a gritty, honest and hard-hitting quick read for teens and young adults who find conventional fiction irrelevant to them or too hard to read. After escaping an abusive past, seventeen year old Savannah lives on the street, working as a prostitute. Elijah is her only friend, but he comes from a different world. After a chance meeting with Jonah, a counselor, she has the opportunity to start a new life. Struggling to accept the things she cannot change, she pushes Jonah away, and sinks further into depression. Elijah is murdered doing business with a vicious street gang, and Savannah soothes her pain by using the drug that Elijah had stolen for her. Now she is alone fighting against the painful memories that haunt her. Can she learn to accept the things she cannot change? "A Forgotten Tomorrow" is a moving story about fear, friendship, loss and hope. The fast-moving, character-focused narrative delves right to the heart of a tougher side of life. Carefully chosen fonts, simple layout and controlled vocabulary help carry readers from beginning to end without any hint of chore-factor creeping in.
