Almost Lost

By Alexandra Christle

David Drummond is lost. Frustrated, he pulls up to a house with a woman sitting in a porch swing. Surprised by her intellect and gracious hospitality, after he leaves he can't seem to get her off his mind. But his reasons for being in the small town are anything but altruistic, so he pushes her out of his mind...only to find himself entangled in a web of deceit and longing.

Praise for Alexandra Christle

"Although drama, infidelity, and heartbreak lace through the plot, [Between Nowhere and Lost] is a beautiful story of love, loss, and redemption. Unforgettably poignant."

–Susan Sewell for Readers’ Favorite

I loved this story by debut author Alexandra Christle. Through the eyes of Helen Hodges, the real life stakes of the sweeping social changes of the 1960s come to life. I was really impressed by the way the author wove together union busting, north-south tension, race, and housewife ennui. There's a lot of good stuff to unpack. This one is going on the keeper shelf.
