As the twentieth century dawns in Texas, young Ricky Nash struggles to reconcile the wishes of his wealthy—yet detached—father with the desires of his own heart.
A successful businessman, Mr. Nash wants Ricky to marry the daughter of his business partner—a girl of equal social standing and means. Ricky, however, loves another. He and Susan Newton, a maid in his father’s household, pledge their love to each other and marry in secret to avoid the disapproving wrath of Mr. Nash.
And when tragedy strikes in his own life, Ricky must come to terms with the consequences of his decisions and the impact they have on multiple generations of his family.
Murder is in the mix and Ricky is stuck in the middle between unwanted family connections and the safety of a young girl related to him by mistake.
A story of love, loss, hope, and redemption, The Unforgotten Past will delight fans of sweeping sagas set against the backdrop of one of the most dynamic times in American history.
