The Book of Lost Friends
by Lisa Wingate
This is the second Lisa Wingate book I’ve ever read, and enjoyed this as much as I did Before We Were Yours. While fiction, it is based on the fallout of African American families during the slave trade era - mixed family lines, broken up families, premature deaths. The Book of Lost Friends is based on a true literary release following the Civil War whereby people could put out search ads for lost family members. As heart wrenching as this was, Lisa did a great job straddling 1877 and the 1980’s, flipping between the two separate but connected storylines. Consumed this is just a few days, very plot driven and educational.
