. . . .
Seven years ago, Bethanne Hostetler survived an attempted assault,
and her attacker, Peter Miller, met an untimely end. Though she has
found some peace, she is still haunted by the memory. So when her
Englisher cousin, Candace, reveals that she has a stalker of her own,
all of Bethanne’s old fears rush back.
Peter’s former best friend, Jay Byler, still can’t get over the fact that
he did not protect Bethanne that fateful night. He can’t blame her
for continuing to avoid him, but it hurts when the one you love can’t
even look you in the eye. Will there ever come a day when
Bethanne looks past the boy he used to be to see the man he’s
become?
When Candace is crowned Miss Crittenden County, officer Ryan
Mulaney becomes her escort to various events to protect her from
the stalker. And while he knows this is just a job, the closer they
work together, the harder it is to maintain a professional distance.
And when everyone’s worst fears are realized, all four of them will
have to come together to prevent another tragedy.
From New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray
comes an emotional and suspenseful story of looking past the
pain of what was in order to focus on what could be.

Sample Interview Questions for Shelley Shepard Gray
Unforgotten
Can you please provide a brief summary of your novel, Unforgotten?
Unforgotten is the story of two cousins living in Marion, KY. One is Amish and still
recovering from a traumatic event while the other is English, outgoing, and filled with big
dreams about her future. At first glance, they seem like polar opposites, and in many cases
they see themselves that way too. However, when both of them are forced to confront
incidents from their pasts, they realize that each has attributes that will help them survive
an unimaginable situation.
In Unforgotten, we meet characters who are facing serious challenges to their
personal safety, their ability to forgive, and their ability to trust. What is it about
these themes that resonates with you?
Again and again, I’ve always been drawn to the idea that a person’s picture-perfect life is
just a façade. Almost every person in this novel is struggling with something, whether it’s
their faith, their job, or a relationship. I enjoy creating characters who are flawed and in
need of compassion and patience—just like most of us are in real life.
What do you hope readers come away with after reading Unforgotten?
My goal when writing a novel is that readers are transported to another world for a few
hours and thoroughly enjoy themselves. That said, for Unforgotten, it would be nice if
readers were also reminded that they’re likely much stronger than they realize.
In writing a story that includes assault, did you do any special research or interviews
with survivors in order to get the physical and emotional responses right?
During the twenty years that I’ve been writing, I’ve done quite a bit of research on a
variety of topics. In addition, I recently met a therapist who works with survivors of
domestic abuse. Her insight was invaluable.
In Unforgotten, you blend together the lives of Amish with Englishers. How are your
characters connected?
Since I live so close to an Amish community, I view the Amish and English communities
as blended. In Unforgotten, since the community is rather small and the central characters
are cousins, this melding was even more pronounced. I like that both the Amish and the
English communities respected each other’s ways.
Do you have a favorite character in Unforgotten and why?
I have to admit to really enjoying Ryan Mulaney. Ryan is a cop from the northeast who has
recently joined the Marion police force. I loved that his point of view was as an outsider. I
also enjoyed the conflict between him and Candace. There were so many reasons for him
not to fall in love with her, but he couldn’t help himself.
Why do you think readers continue to love Amish fiction? What do you love most
about writing Amish fiction?
I think the Amish fiction genre is still so strong because it provides some insight to a world
that is still secret and confusing to a lot of folks. Nowadays, it’s hard to find anything like
that. I love setting stories in Amish communities because I think there’s a wealth of
opportunities for the characters. In addition, their faith is so strong, they continually inspire
me. I’m very grateful to have been given the chance to write so many books with Amish
heroes and heroines.
Where can readers purchase a copy of Unforgotten?
Unforgotten will be available through almost any retailer.
How can readers connect with you?
I love to connect with readers and can be found on Instagram, X, and Facebook. I have a
FB group called Shelley Shepard Gray’s Buggy Bunch where I post almost daily. In
addition, I have a website, ShelleyShepardGray.com, and love to visit with readers at
libraries across the country.
What are you working on next?
I’m currently writing the next book set in Crittenden County. It’s tentatively called
Undeniable, and is about an Amish witness on the run.
