PAPERBACK
Lost and Found
The story of love, loss and hope
Lost and Found is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about adoption, loss, healing, and the search for belonging.
Through an emotional and often unexpected journey, the story explores what it means to grow up as an adoptee while navigating the questions, feelings, and discoveries that come with finding your place in the world.
Along the way, moments of uncertainty and loss are balanced by the love and unwavering support of family, with a particularly special bond with Nannie providing comfort, strength, and guidance.
As the journey unfolds, Lost and Found is also a story about growing up, experiencing new emotions, forming meaningful connections, and discovering that family can take many forms.
It is a story of challenges and adventures, but ultimately one of hope, resilience, healing, and finding where you truly belong.
At its heart, Lost and Found is a celebration of the people and connections that help us find ourselves—even when parts of our past may feel lost.
