Our Lady of the Lost and Found: A Novel of Mary, Faith, and Friendship by Diane Schoemperlen
5.0
On that meme going around Facebook of the 10 books that have stuck with you, this one made my list. This reminded me that I wanted to give it a re-read so I pulled it out and spent a couple of days with it again.
While the Orthodox view of Mary is largely ignored (although Mary's name on her ATM card is Mary Theotokos) in this delightful novel, I loved the meditations and thoughts brought up in the book. It's more along the vein of Kathleen Norris' writing (who is credited in the author's notes) than a fabulous story - but there's things to ponder about faith, doubt, God, time, and Mary herself.
A keeper indeed.
