What is Found, What is Lost: A Novel

By Anne Leigh Parrish

Book Overview

Freddie was raised on faith. It's in her blood. Yet rather than seeking solace from the Almighty when she loses her husband of many years, she enters a state of quiet contemplation--until her daughter, and then her sister, each come home with a host of problems of their own, and her solitude is brought to an end. As Freddie helps her daughter and sister deal with their troubles, her own painful past--a wretched childhood at the hands of an unbalanced, pious mother--begins to occupy her thoughts more than ever, as does Anna, the grandmother she's always wished she'd known better. Freddie feels that she and Anna are connected, not just through blood but through the raising of difficult daughters, and it's a kinship that makes her wonder what unseen forces have shaped her life. With all that to hand, a new family crisis rears its head--and it forces Freddie to confront the questions she's asked so many times: What does it mean to believe in God? And does God even care?
