Lost and Found (A Novel)

Reviews:
"I was unexpectedly moved by Lost & Found. Kathy Adams writing style was so soft in parts and so in your face in others, that it was very gripping. The story of Caelie growing up feeling worthless and like she didn't matter to anyone anytime anywhere was written with such compassion and emotion that I finished the book touched and even a bit sad.

I found the dynamic between Caelie and Wynne to be very compelling. I found myself thinking that Wynne should have said something or some other thing to Caelie to fix the situation but it never happened the way I thought it would. The story unfolded in some very unexpected ways!

All in all, this was a very good book. I enjoyed it from end-to-end and would recommend it to anyone looking for a deep and touching book to read." Bruce A. Sarte

"This is a very touching story that really hits home for me. The author really develops the characters and keeps the reader involved in the story and guessing what will happen next. It is a very well written book with a great storyline that keeps you interested from beginning to end. I could really feel Caelies pain suffering and felt bad for her for all she had been through. As far as Wynne, I was really rooting for him to get his confidence and get over his fear for women. This is a wonderful story and I would love to read more from this author. Highly recommended."

Description

A tear jerker about Caelie grown up feeling worthless and vulnerable. The hurt and torment she had to endure as a young child had left her broken and untrusting, refusing to let anyone into her life for fear of being hurt again.

Wynne had kept a cold distant from girls. The guilt he felt during his early teenage life was so huge that it deterred him from getting emotionally attached to a girl.
Would they find the courage in them to face the ghosts of their past and learn to live again?





"Elise noticed the change in Caelie’s demeanor. What could possibly have affected her so much? Perhaps it was just anxiety of the first day at work. Whatever the cause, she decided that Wynne had to be stopped before he continued to tear the girl down. She knew well enough what Wynne was like.

“That’s enough Wynne. We need to focus on the proposal here. Our client will be here any minute now.” She glared at Wynne. That would shut him up. It always did.

Elise softened her voice a notch. “Caelie, let’s take this as your first assignment here. Show me how efficient you are. Take these papers and salvage them before we present them to the client. Wynne and I will meet with the client first but we can only stall them for thirty minutes. That’s all the time you have to clean up the proposal and get it properly bound. Look for Alex Mages. She will be your mentor throughout your stint with us and will guide you on what to do.” With a final nod of her head, Caelie was dismissed from the room, taking with her the bunch of soggy papers.

Once Caelie was out of the room, Elise turned to Wynne, giving him a reproachful look. “Do you have to be so harsh on her?”
