Jenna Bouvier lives a coveted life, one of few responsibilities coupled with wealth, beauty, love and power. Except Jenna doesn't know her power, a fact excruciatingly obvious by the extent to which she allows her mother-in-law to control her every move. Jenna's husband Gerard loves both the women in his life, but his mother holds the reins not only to his career but to his marriage.

Andee Bell is a self-made woman. Through hard work, she has acquired fame and fortune, but she believes she also has the respect Jenna lacks. Yet, as Jenna's brother's girlfriend, Andee wonders about Jenna's quiet faith, just as Jenna wonders about Andee's seeming invisible, protective walls.

When Jenna takes steps to break free from her mother-in-law, and Andee begins to question her success, tragedy strikes and unites these two women, both of whom grasp at a freedom they desperately need through faith and courage.

LOST AND FOUND is disturbing. Unsettling. Rattling. It is an amazing story about a woman who has subjected herself completely to her evil mother-in-law, through obligation, tradition, and love, so much so that Jenna's self-esteem is near gone. With the help of her spiritual director, Jenna finds her voice and her wings. In doing so, she gives flight to another, Andee, who finally finds a way to rid herself of the guilt and shame of her past.

Ytrrup stirs the soul by skillfully breathing life into Jenna's pain and longing. Each slight, each abuse heightens the sense of wrong and the desire for Jenna to be free of her tormentor. Readers may not like Gerard for allowing his wife to be abused so, but it becomes evident that Gerard struggles with the desire and promise to honor his parents. Readers also may not like Andee, not right away, but it doesn't take long to realize her brittle edges that seemingly cause offense mask the long-held hurt of a little girl who needs to be healed. In Ytrrup's hands, the unsympathetic is made sympathetic, and readers will find themselves softening, if not tossing away, any negative feelings.

With some unexpected current day twists, LOST AND FOUND is a dramatic look at finding the freedom of spirit that can only come in relationship with Christ.
