The Summer of Lost and Found by Toni Blake is a contemporary novel about life, expectations and changes. The main character, Jessica Fox is recovering from breast cancer and wants to put her life back in order. Instead, she is in Kentucky in the small town of Lost and Found.
Jessica is excited about returning to work and getting her kitchen redone. Only according to her bosses, she is not ready. Feeling seriously upset and that her life has been stripped from her, Jessica is devastated. A friend offers her a family cottage in the small town of Lost and Found.
It is in this small town without any internet and lacking what she considers essentials, She has to find her way.
The novel is a slow journey for Jessica as she is suddenly immersed in a very small town. She struggles with the small (even smaller than you are thinking) town and learns to sit with herself. Slowly as she begins to make friends and learn about her neighbors and advantages, time starts to move more quickly. There is so much to learn from picking blackberries to deadheading plants to seeing the stars and fireflies. Then there is the hot sheriff next door. BUT she is only there for a short time, really.
The Summer of Lost and Found by Toni Blake is a good read.
