Loading... How to Be Lostby Amanda Eyre Ward
None. My husband took a chance and bought this for me for Easter last year. He actually picked a pretty good book! The youngest daughter is kidnapped from a family and still hasn't been found something like twenty years later. This book is about how she may be the one who is actually lost, but every other family member also loses his or her way after her kidnapping. The book is about the ways they either try to cope with, or refuse to accept, the kidnapping. I recommend it. (  ) JG_IntrovertedReader | Apr 3, 2013 |  I wanted this book to be about 10 pages longer... (  ) TeenieLee | Apr 3, 2013 | I picked this novel up at a Friends of the Library book sale. When it actually came to reading it, I kept putting it off, thinking it would be depressing and sad. What it turned out to be was actually a study in hope. I like how the tale unfolded: back-story and two separate strands of current day. The story of three sisters, one of whom goes missing at age 5. Fifteen years later, the story starts again. It's also the story of choices and the way our live diverges every time we make one. It was a good book to cozy up with on a day when I really didn't feel like doing much besides reading.

I loved this book after reading it i want to read all of ward's work. (  ) thelittlematchgirl | Jan 23, 2012 |
In this, Ward’s second novel, our heroine is a booze-soaked thirty-two-year-old cocktail waitress who works at the rotating bar at the top of the New Orleans World Trade Center and eats “hot dogs by choice.”
