The Book of Lost Friends

Author: Lisa Wingate

In “The Book of Lost Friends,” Lisa Wingate weaves a poignant tale of hope and connection across generations. Set in post-Civil War Louisiana, the story follows Hannie, a former slave, on a perilous journey to find her lost family. Alternating with a modern-day narrative, we meet Benedetta, a struggling teacher who uncovers Hannie’s story. As I read, I found myself captivated by Wingate’s rich historical detail and the way she effortlessly blends past and present. The characters’ resilience in the face of adversity touched me deeply, reminding me of the power of human spirit.

Sometimes the things that matter most are the hardest to see.
