The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate
5.0

One of my favorite shows is Finding Your Roots.... and this book really encapsulates the hope of being able to tell the story of our ancestors. I had never heard of the Book of Lost Friends, which was a 19th century advertisement of people looking to find their lost relatives- of course it would make for a great backdrop for a fictional story. I also have an affinity for two stories in two different time periods that intertwine.
