The Book of Lost Friends
is not a book that you just close the cover and move on from. It is a
book from which one must slowly emerge. One must ease their
heartstrings away from Hannie, Juneau Jane, Missy, and Benny; to do
otherwise would leave a tear that would be difficult to mend. The
story bridges generations from 1875 to 1987, awakening those latter
generations to the stories of their ancestors and their own
self-worth, making it possible for them to begin to define themselves
rather than to be defined by others. May it also teach us about our
own value, to encourage us to take great risks in order to improve
the world for present and future generations.

Wingate has created another story that is likely destined to top
bestseller lists. I could not recommend it more highly. I am very
grateful to have received a copy from Ballantine, an imprint of
Random House Publishing Group via NetGalley in exchange for my honest
opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and
received no monetary compensation.
