Produktbeschreibung
One hundred and thirty years apart, during the same week in August, two women separated by time struggle to regain their strength and find new hope on the shores of Sally's Cove. 2017: Shortly after losing her children in an ugly divorce and custody battle, Maggie Breen's mother passes away. The double loss leaves Maggie reeling and desperate to escape everyday life. Maggie's never been east of Toronto, but she offers to return her parents' ashes to their heart's home--Newfoundland--and opts to leave her meds behind. As she sets out across the rugged landscape where her family's roots run deep, the act of bringing her parents home is complicated by family secrets as the consequences of Maggie's decisions catch up with her. 1887: For Susan Short, better known as Shorty, life in Newfoundland's harsh Great Northern Peninsula runs a lot smoother for her and her six children when her husband Lorne is away. A good novel provides the escape she longs for, but reading is something Lorne has forbidden her and their daughters to do. When Lorne returns home and learns Shorty and her children have broken his rules, Shorty's life is upended and she is forced into action to keep her children safe. Fiction collides with Newfoundland legend in The Art of Getting Lost and Found as we follow two mothers fighting to regain resilience and hope, while getting lost and found in the town of Sally's Cove.
