The book Growing Up Forsaken, which is an instructive and inspirational memoir/self-care book calls all “Forsakens,” who can also be considered to be the “Forgotten Children,” out of the shadows. It is the dawn of a new era, and this new era is the “Awakening of the Forsakens.” Come and read the story of how this Forsaken beat all the odds of adversity.
