Customer Reviews

This was quick read, but an impactful book.

Warm, heartfelt and inspiring: this was the perfect quick, uplifting book for me after a few fairly heavy reads this month. What a beautiful story about how great of an impact one human can have on another and how truly the human spirit craves understanding and interaction with others. Half current story of one day and one chance encounter in New York City and half flashbacks in to the past of our 3 characters, I Have Lost My Way explores different kinds of loss and the effect loss can have on person. I found myself racing through this story, thoroughly enthralled by each individual story and rooting for the group as a whole. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for an easy, meaningful book to pick up.
