<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the National Book Award Finalist ("Story of a Girl") comes a novel about a local calamity and a personal tragedy paralleling in the eyes of a 15-year-old girl as she begins to question the faith she always thought she'd have. A "Kirkus Reviews" Best Young Adult Book.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Samara Taylor used to believe in miracles. She used to believe in a lot of things. <p/>When your father's a pastor, it's hard not to buy in to the idea of the perfect family, a loving God, and amazing grace. But lately, Sam has a lot of reasons to doubt. Her mother lands in rehab after a DUI and her father seems more interested in his congregation than his family. When a young girl in her small town is kidnapped, the local tragedy overlaps with Sam's personal one, and the already worn thread of faith holding her together begins to unravel. <p/>In her third novel, acclaimed author Sara Zarr examines the coexistence of affliction and hope, and what happens when everything you thought you believed--about God, your family, and yourself--is transformed.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Once Was Lost</i></b><br>Beyond delivering a gripping story, Zarr has a knack for exposing human weakness in the ordinary.
