What might have been? That tantalizing question
propels a woman on a cross-country adventure to reunite with
the men she loved and let go, in Danielle Steel’s
exhilarating new novel.
It all starts with a fall from a ladder, in a firehouse in
New York City. The firehouse has been converted into a
unique Manhattan home and studio where renowned photographer
Madison Allen works and lives after raising three children
on her own. But the accident, which happens while Maddie is
sorting through long-forgotten personal mementos and photos,
results in more than a broken ankle. It changes her life.
Spurred by old memories, the forced pause in her demanding
schedule, and an argument with her daughter that leads to a
rare crisis of confidence, Maddie embarks on a road trip.
She hopes to answer questions about the men she loved and
might have married—but didn’t—in the years after she was
left alone with three young children. Wearing a cast and
driving a rented SUV, she sets off to reconnect with three
very different men—one in Boston, one in Chicago, and
another in Wyoming—to know once and for all if the decisions
she made long ago were the right ones. Before moving forward
into the future, she is compelled to confront the past.
As the miles and days pass, and with each new encounter,
Maddie’s life comes into clearer focus and a new future
takes shape. A deeply felt story about love, motherhood,
family, and fate, Lost and Found is an irresistible
new novel from America’s most dynamic storyteller.
