After a series of deaths of people close to her (mother, lover, mentor, friend), she develops, through a series of letters, a meditation on aging, friendship, loss, and the forces that link us to the dead. The letters tell of her early activism; her descent into alcoholism and subsequent recovery; and they tell of her discovery of the power of writing to give shape and meaning to a life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFound and Lost\u003c\/em\u003e is both a tender memorial to the extraordinary people in her life and a compelling tale of redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68026607304940,"sku":"9781910749593","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781910749593-found-and-lost-1.jpg?v=1793576544"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/alison-leslie-gold.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
