Reviews for Lost and Found

[jbarr5 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Lost and Found by Danielle SteelWhat I like right from the start is the lead character is into photography.Madison has raised her 3 kids and then bought the old firehouse to live in.She's competitive with fashion and design...her children are all different: one likes fashion, one design, one business.She hoped to get the kids and their kids to spend time around the Christmas holidays but the firehouse stairs and pole were not the right places for young child.Other children grew up and do very well in their jobs and in their kids. They are too wrapped up in their lives to even call the other siblings or their mother.Kinda sad, her life and she makes a choice while cleaning out a closet and seeing letters from the men who loved her and after breaking her ankle she'd go visit each of them.She knows after visiting the first two that she had made the right choice and followed her dreams by letting them go.Third man who bought land and created his own ranch in WY was the one she was too late for.She decided then to just go visit the kids in CA. Love the travel and wish there were more time she had spent there describing it all.Ben her son the one who spent more time reaching out to her wants her to come visit. His wife is too busy for a visit and he puts his foot down that he will spend time with her.She heads to Big Sur to relax and meets a man from England and they take a liking to one another.Love the time she gets to spend with her kids before heading back to NY for work. It's a wonder a severe world wide catastrophe brings them back to one another..Some sex scenes but love the locations.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Lost and Found is a story about a women’s self-reflective journey. Maddie Allen is a famous photographer who is divorced and on her own after raising her three children. She does not have a close relationship with any of her kids, and Maddie leads a quiet life focusing on her work where she excels. Maddie loves her home which is a converted firehouse with a spiral staircase and where she has her studio and offices on the ground floor. After breaking her ankle in a fall and a dress down from her eldest daughter, Maddie decides to take a trip. She wants to see if the choices she made in the past were the right ones. It also allows Maddie to reflect on her life, lay old ghosts to rest and see what the future holds for her. Lost and Found reminds me of Danielle Steel’s earlier books. It is a light women’s fiction story with a heaping helping of romance and a splash of fairy tale (happily ever after). I like the author’s relaxed writing style. It makes the story easy to read and it has a smooth flow. I did not understand how Maddie could let her daughter run roughshod over her and be intimidated by Deanna’s words. Of course, critical comments from family affect us more than remarks from others. There is a significant amount of repetition in the first half of the book. After a while, I knew the information by heart (a little rewriting would have dramatically improved this book). As Maddie’s journey progresses, the story improves. I was especially moved by her Wyoming visit. There were some heartwarming scenes that were touching. I liked seeing the characters develop and the changes in various relationships. I agree with Maddie when she said. “strange things happen in life when you don’t expect them”. Sometimes it helps to look back before moving forward. Lost and Found is sweet story about reflection, family, romance, and choices.
