When Nazi forces tear eighteen-year-old Milorad from his privileged life in Yugoslavia, he never imagines the frozen wilderness of northern Norway will become both his hell and his salvation. In Karasjok’s brutal labor camp, a young Norwegian woman named Sigrid and her Sami family risk everything to save him, igniting a love that will span decades.
From the blood-soaked roads of wartime Norway to the glittering fashion houses of 1960s New York, What We Can’t Forget weaves an unforgettable tale of survival, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds forged in humanity’s darkest hours. As Milorad builds a new life in America, the ghosts of war threaten to destroy everything, until fate reunites him with the woman who saved his soul.
Based on true stories passed down through generations, this sweeping historical novel reveals how love transcends borders, time, and trauma. Some memories haunt us forever, while others set us free.
A story you’ll never forget.
