The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin

“He thought of Heraclitus: a man cannot step in the same river twice, for it is not the same river, and he is not the same man.” 

Noah is four and wants to go home. The only trouble is he's already there.

Janie's son is her world, and it breaks her heart that he has nightmares.
That he's terrified of water.
That he sometimes pushes her away and screams that he wants his real mother.
That it's getting worse and worse and no one seems to be able to help.

In desperation, she turns to someone who might have an answer - but it may not be one she's ready to hear.
It may also mean losing the one thing she loves more than anything.
Noah.

A novel that spans life, death and everything in between, The Forgetting Time tells an unforgettable story - about Noah, about love, and, above all, about the things we hold onto when we have nothing else.

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. It had an interesting theme that I wasn't sure I would be able to believe, but it was written so well that I took to it immediately. It had a lot going on - mystery, love, complex relationships - and it didn't disappoint.  

I felt for Janie - what mother wouldn't move heaven and earth to help their child? Even if it sounded a little crazy to others.

Anderson's  pain and struggle made him more loveable and believable. 

Hearing about the families who lost their children/siblings, made me hug my son harder.
