Voice of Forgotten

Voices of the ForgottenA Novel by Kosuke Onishi, Esq. Sometimes art is the only way to remember what the world tries to forget. When Elena Vasquez, a struggling artist haunted by failure and loss, stumbles upon an abandoned gallery in a rain-soaked corner of Georgetown, she never expects it to change her life. Inside the empty space - once a sanctuary for "voices the world had forgotten" - she meets Marcus Chen, a burned-out corporate lawyer still grieving the aunt who built that gallery into a refuge for lost souls.
What begins as a chance encounter in the storm becomes a partnership neither expects - and a love neither believes they deserve. Together, they reopen the gallery, breathing life into forgotten art and rediscovering parts of themselves they'd buried long ago. But as their exhibition nears, ghosts of the past return - family expectations, unhealed wounds, and the terrifying question of whether love and art can survive in a world that values neither.
Set against the moody backdrop of Washington D. C.'s creative undercurrent, Voices of the Forgotten is a tender, lyrical story about grief, rediscovery, and the quiet revolution of being seen. It's a novel for anyone who has ever stood in front of an empty canvas - or an empty life - and dared to begin again. Perfect for readers who love:?? Literary romance with emotional depth??? Themes of second chances, art, and purpose?? Characters healing from grief through creativity?? Fans of Jojo Moyes, Nicholas Sparks, or Celeste Ng
