About this listen

For a woman at a turning point, a small Kentucky town offers a summer of healing, unexpected romance, and rediscovery in a bittersweet novel by USA Today bestselling author Toni Blake.

Recovering from cancer, Cincinnati news anchor Jessica Fox has no choice but to take a summer leave. Her boss’s proposal: for Jessica to take it easy and recharge at his late grandmother Mabel’s cottage in the Kentucky mountains.

The town of Lost and Found lives up to its name. Resistant at first, Jessica grows to appreciate the slower pace, the spectacular sunsets, the affable locals, and even Matt Cordray, the laid-back, too-friendly police chief next door. Most engaging of all is Mabel, who left behind a treasure map that leads Jessica to a collection of lost items—mementos and love letters—people have mailed to the town over the years. Jessica needs something to help pass the time, and she finds it in reuniting these precious things with the distant strangers who lost them.

Lost and in flux herself, Jessica has no idea just how connected to life this town will make her feel again or, by summer’s end, how transformative a season it will be.

Jessica had recovered well from her cancer treatments, all but the regrowth of her beautiful blonde hair. She had thought she was a valued employee because she was good at her job as a news anchor. She didn’t realise her looks were so important to her returning to her role now she was feeling better. When this becomes apparent, she is forced to take a leave of absence and takes up her boss / friend’s offer to stay in his late grandma’s cottage. Jessica hates everything immediately on arrival but over time the town and its residents grow on her, and she starts to enjoy the slower pace of life in Lost and Found.

I loved how Jessica felt a connection to Mabel, despite never meeting her, just through her cottage and her belongings. Also, the idea of taking a step away from technology and focusing on living life is really appealing to me. All in all, this book is a cosy romance that left me feeling warm and fuzzy. Little Miss Golden Paws may have had something to do with this though.

A beautiful story of patience, love and friendship
