The Summer of Lost and Found

By: Toni Blake

Narrated by: Jenn Lee

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.

Loved

This was a breath of fresh air. I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend for people looking for a love story about finding yourself.

This Story Made Me Feel!

This story brought out all kinds of emotions from me. Jessica’s journey with cancer is personal for me. I understood the feelings she had about her hair loss. When my stepdaughter lost her hair from breast cancer, she asked me to shave her head. When it started to grow back in and was fuzzy, I knew what that felt like. I also loved the saltiness that she used with Matt the police chief neighbor. The humor in this story is wonderful. I loved the scavenger hunt too! I highly recommend you take the time to read and listen to this story. From a True Fan… Pam James.

Captivating emotional journey

I had low expectations because I thought it was just another Hallmark romance movie. I was VERY wrong! This was an emotional rollercoaster that evoked humor, sadness and everything in between.

Great moral and fun reading

Well narrated or acted. Enjoyed the story. Easy read with out loud laughs and deep characters.
