donnazay 's review for:
The Book of Lost Friends
by Lisa Wingate
II had never occurred to me that after the Civil War, family members, especially slave families who were sold and separated from each other, would have a way to search for their lost brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers. Notices of those lost were printed in newspapers and read by preachers to their Sunday congregations. Sometimes this worked and family members were reunited. Hope can be life sustaining. This is such a heartbreaking, hopeful story of the importance of family.
