“Zaboravljeni sin” je emotivna i topla ljudska priča pretočena u roman pisan u formi dnevničkih bilježaka. Glavni junak Mislav je dvadesetogodišnjak s blažim teškoćama u razvoju, nakon šesnaest godina boravka u specijalnoj školi u Zagrebu vraća se u rodno, selo, u svoju obitelj. Njegov brat i sestra kao i susjedi, do tada uopće nisu znali za njega, pa se mladić nađe u potpuno novom okruženju i novim odnosima, istrgnut iz svijeta u kojem je živio i na koji je navikao. Mislav teško prihvaća novu okolinu, ali kad upozna djevojku Jasenku, njegov život obogaćuje jedan do tada nepoznat osjećaj - mladenačka ljubav.
