The Forgotten Many (coming October 6, 2026)
When Tabatha Zinder flees her abusive partner with her young son—bruised, terrified, sixty-eight cents to her name—she seeks refuge in a women's shelter. What she finds there is something she stopped believing in: hope and solidarity. But when a fellow resident’s unborn baby is killed by her estranged husband, the grief that moves through the shelter moves outward, igniting a vigil that catches fire across the country.
When Tabatha's ex finds her, she must fight for her life, and for every woman who never got the chance to fight for hers.
The Forgotten Many is a novel (based on a true story) about the women nobody sees, the violence nobody names, and the cost of leaving. It’s about the women who refuse to let each other disappear—and it’s the first to answer, in a voice that will not be ignored, the question asked of every survivor: Why did you stay?

Praise for The Forgotten Many
Charlotte Babler’s The Forgotten Many follows a mother fiercely determined to rewrite her son's future in the face of a failing legal system. United by a deep-seated desire for justice, a sisterhood of survivors establishes a powerful sanctuary. In doing so, they reshape their shared trauma, allowing their collective terror to evolve into a powerful catalyst for healing.
~~Frank F. Weber, author of Heartbreak Hollow and other novels
This book is far more than just a gripping, haunting story from an author to watch for. It's a visceral rallying call for awareness and social change—a powerful exploration of resilience that will inspire those in the shadows to reclaim their freedom and will challenge the bystander to break their silence.
~~Anthony Dosen, Editor at https://www.adosenedits.com
Charlotte Babler has crafted a novel that is uncomfortable to read, yet should be required reading for everyone. A tale of domestic violence, and its insidious grip on its victims, it is both a cry for help and a clarion call for action by those who look away or blame those caught in its web. Seldom does a work of fiction address a social concern with such poignancy.
