Family. A six letter word that holds a meaning stronger than those six letters can convey. How far would you go for yours? What happens when the one thing you want is the one thing you don't have? Boston is sixteen and has lived at Madame Louise's orphanage almost his entire life. The one thing he wants more than anything else is a family of his own. What he needs are parents. Over the years he was joined by three boys that have become his brothers, the closest thing to family he has. After years of waiting the four boys have run out of options and patience. So together, Boston, Theo, Wyatt, and Bo set out to find parents to call their own. But a step outside the orphanage walls isn't a vacation in paradise. The year is 2018 and the United States is recovering from a flu epidemic that has ravaged the population. Entire companies and corporations have shut down. In their wake they've left countless people homeless and desperate. People who are willing to do almost anything to survive. The boys must survive a bitter world trying to rebuild from the depths of despair. Conquer hunger, loneliness and those who would do them harm. Can they find the family they are longing for or will they forever be just four more forgotten children? The boys are fictional but there are 153 million real children in the world just like them;Children who are alone, unloved and have no hope. This but one fictional example of the millions that truly that exist. The story of the Forgotten.
