“Part sexy romance, part urban survival adventure, this long, fast-paced contemporary novel will speak to older teens about coming of age…Ashley’s first-person narrative is funny…readers will be caught up in the riches-to-rags turnaround in a materialistic world.” – Booklist
“Move over Holden Caufield, this is the voice of THIS generation. Entitled and spoiled, prom queen Ashley is the outrageously snarky voice of Generation $. She must suddenly learn to fend for herself after her mother disappears. That ain’t easy when you don’t even know how to pay your own Nordstrom’s bill. MY LOST AND FOUND LIFE is a highly entertaining tale about the price of privilege. Set in the wealthy San Francisco area, every indulgent soccer parent should read this to see what they’re turning their kids into!” – Kemble Scott, editor, SoMA Literary Review
“Funny, human and realistic, this novel gathers power as it moves along and doesn’t settle for cheap answers. It dramatizes the process of someone becoming a better and deeper person, and there are few accomplishments worth more in fiction.”- Tamim Ansary, author of West of Kabul, East of New York
Now, here’s what a few of my critics closer to home are saying:
“Funny and evocative!”
My sister
“I couldn’t put it down until I finished it.”
My landlord
The love story was great. It gave me such a flush (or maybe it’s a hot flash) but whatever…”
My best friend
“This better not be about me!”
My daughter
“The language is shocking. Why couldn’t you write a nice book?”
My mother
