About this product

Product Information

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters . . . Years ago, five-year-old Ellie disappeared. But then her sister finds her photograph in the pages of a magazine, leading her to ask: Was Ellie ever really missing? "Invites comparison to The Lovely Bones . . . Ward's depiction of family, with its attendant love and guilt, will keep you turning pages."-- People Joseph and Isabelle Winters seem to have it all: a grand home in Holt, New York, a trio of radiant daughters, and a sense that they are safe in their affluent corner of America. But when five-year-old Ellie disappears, the fault lines within the family are exposed: Joseph, once a successful businessman, succumbs to his demons; Isabelle retreats into memories of her debutante days in Savannah; and Ellie's bereft sisters grow apart--Madeline reluctantly stays home, while Caroline runs away. Fifteen years later, Caroline, now a New Orleans cocktail waitress, sees a photograph of a woman in a magazine. Convinced that it is Ellie all grown up, Caroline embarks on a search for her missing sister. Armed with copies of the photo, an amateur detective guide, and a cooler of Dixie beer, Caroline travels through the New Mexico desert, the mountains of Colorado, and the smoky underworld of Montana, determined to salvage her broken family.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

Lost and Found
I don’t think anybody needs help in figuring out how to be lost, but at one point or another we may need help figuring out how to be found, or how to find ourselves. Amanda Eyre Ward’s book, How to Be Lost, is the story of a woman in search of her lost sister who eventually finds herself. Caroline Winters in the oldest of three sisters. She and her younger sisters live a seemingly charmed life in New York. The family lives in a beautiful home in an expensive neighborhood, but behind the closed front door is an alcoholic father and a self-absorbed mother. Caroline, Madeline and little Ellie live in fear of their father’s rages. Their mother, Isabelle, lost in her own world isn’t there for them, so they decide to make a better life for themselves and run away to New Orleans. On the day of ... I don’t think anybody needs help in figuring out how to be lost, but at one point or another we may need help figuring out how to be found, or how to find ourselves. Amanda Eyre Ward’s book, How to Be Lost, is the story of a woman in search of her lost sister who eventually finds herself. Caroline Winters in the oldest of three sisters. She and her younger sisters live a seemingly charmed life in New York. The family lives in a beautiful home in an expensive neighborhood, but behind the closed front door is an alcoholic father and a self-absorbed mother. Caroline, Madeline and little Ellie live in fear of their father’s rages. Their mother, Isabelle, lost in her own world isn’t there for them, so they decide to make a better life for themselves and run away to New Orleans. On the day of their departure, Caroline and Madeline go to pick up Ellie from school, only to find that she has disappeared. Fifteen years later, the fragments of this family still have not recovered from Ellie’s disappearance. She has not been found – alive or dead, and her mysterious disappearance is a gaping hole in the soul of this family. Mr. Winters has long since died. Isabelle lives a fa�ade of a life, throwing parties, wearing beautiful clothing, drinking too much and always searching for her missing daughter. Madeline has married and has moved to New York City. Caroline has given up her dream of being a pianist and has moved to New Orleans. She works as a cocktail waitress in a shabby club, drinks too much, avoids relationships, and distances herself from her mother and sister. The three Winters women each carries guilt over Ellie’s disappearance. Each believes that it is somehow her fault. Madeline, expecting her first baby, wants to put Ellie’s memory to rest, and declare her sister dead, but Isabelle and Caroline can not give up hope. When Isabelle is killed in a car accident on New Years Eve, Caroline decides to search for Ellie. Following a lead from a photo in People Magazine, Caroline heads off to Montana in search of her baby sister. The story that follows is somewhat outrageous - filled with convenient coincidence and a sometimes outlandish plot. Despite this, Ms. Ward has written a compelling novel. While parts of the plot are not believable, all of the characters are. The novel kept me turning the pages, not because I wanted to know what happened next, but because I wanted to see the growth in the characters. A bit mystery, a bit romance, a bit coming of age novel; this book is satisfying. Ward weaves together an ending that doesn’t tell us if and how the characters live happily ever after, but which lets us feel the healing process that they experience. I very much enjoyed reading this book, and despite its faults, I highly recommend it.

How To Be Lost by Amanda Eyreward 👍👍👍
Content: The storyline is good. A 5 year old goes missing. Years later, the disappearance is the elephant in the room for the family. The mother is convinced she's still alive. The eldest sister sets on a journey to find her, instead, finding herself. The writing is simply ok. The author chose to keep things very simple. Sentences are short. Many words are repetitive. Character conversations are dull. Far too many character responses are boringly "Oh". The characters themselves are not compelling in the least. Caroline is weak, awkward and the ultimate hot mess that self sabotages anything remotely positive. The Agnes letters are blatantly unstable and a bit uncomfortable. Maddy is bitter and sick with pregnancy. The mom is half entertaining, but her existence in the book is short ... Content: The storyline is good. A 5 year old goes missing.

The author really doesn't give the reader the opportunity to like the players of the tale, which is sad. Though I give Amanda Eyeward an A for effort, that's the only A I can give. Would I recommend this book to a friend? "Oh" No. They'd laugh at me.😂

WOW..you must keep reading till the very end!
In the beginning I wasn't sure I would like this or not....could a family be that disfunctional? But, you find out so much about them and the life they lead....Caroline is truly a delight. You really hope that the whole thing ties up nicely at the end, but it doesn't. Don't be turned away in the first few chapters....it gets so good in the middle and the end as the search for Ellie begins. I will look to find other books by this author...Great Job!In the beginning I wasn't sure I would like this or not....could a family be that disfunctional?
