Sam is fifteen and has a lot to consider. Her father is the pastor, her mother is in rehab, her faith doesn't feel so real anymore, and then one of the girls from her class goes missing. This might sound like a lot to consider in a single book, but Sara Zarr does a fantastic job of making it believable and real in Once Was Lost. I had the pleasure of meeting Zarr upon the release of Story of a Girl. Make time to read her novels this year--she's got a way with words.
