How to be Lost by
Amanda Eyre Ward is the story of one woman’s journey to find her missing sister
and repair her fractured family. The story follows Caroline as she tries to
distance herself from her family as the disappearance of her baby sister,
Ellie, still haunts the family gatherings after so many years. At Christmas,
her mother approaches her with a request. Head to Montana and see if a woman in
the photograph is Ellie and bring her home. Caroline refuses but its only after
the sudden loss of her mother does Caroline decide to go. While she’s in
Montana, she meets a people who are all running from something. Will she be
able to find Ellie? If the woman in the picture is Ellie, can Caroline convince
her to come home?
How to be Lost is
a wonderful story about family past hurts and how it can still affect the
present. I felt the story was very real and the pain and attitudes displayed by
each character was heartfelt and realistic. The story also interjects letters
from a woman named Agnes. While Caroline is on her journey, the reader is also
wondering who is Agnes and how does she fit into the story? I highly recommend How to be Lost.
