Book Dish: Lost & Found

I have to admit I was skeptical. The cover was kind of bright, the birds threw me off (I know, how superficial), but I thought, ok- let's give it a whirl. By the first chapter I was hooked. HOOKED.


Lost & Found

From the publisher:
New from the author of the New York Times bestseller, The Dogs of Babel, seven unlikely couples scour the globe searching for love, treasure, fame, family--and themselves--in Lost and Found, an astonishing new novel.

Seven oddly matched pairs--a mother and daughter, two business partners, two flight attendants, a born-again Christian couple, two former child stars, and other unlikely couples--are thrown together to compete in a high-stakes, televised contest. It is the new reality show, Lost and Found, a global scavenger hunt whose initial purpose is entertainment, but with each challenge, the drama builds as the number of players is whittled down.

Laura signed on to try to reconnect with her recalcitrant teenage daughter, Cassie. But Cassie knows they were only selected because of a secret she hides, one the show's producers hope will be revealed as the pressures of the competition mount. Justin and Abby aim to use the million-dollar prize to spread their message of faith, but they soon find the game putting their marriage to the test. Juliet and Dallas, deep in the "where-are-they-now" stage of stardom, just hope to spark some life back into their flagging careers.

But as the game escalates, tensions mount, temptations beckon, and the bonds between teammates begin to fray. The question is not only who will capture the final prize, but at what cost?


From The Daily Stroll:

In an unimaginable feat, Parkhurst writes from the voice of almost a dozen characters with so much attention to detail there is not a stone left unturned in Lost & Found. With so much drama and truth, it's hard to believe this is fiction. It's better than any reality tv show I have ever seen!
