The Family believed in "group marriage" and practiced its own version of Gestalt therapy, sometimes coercively. Hollenbach spent only a few months in this intense environment, but the lessons she learned have shaped her life. She tells the story of the young woman she was then in an unsparingly honest memoir. <p>"Powerfully told and beautifully written. Hollenbach has a marvelous ear for dialogue. The Family comes across as a fascinating experiment in friendship, open sexuality, and group dynamics. But it is also revealed as a quasi-cult led by a charismatic leader whose hold on his followers is frightening and bizarre."--David Farber, co-editor of UNM Press's CounterCulture Series <p>"In <i>Lost and Found,</i> critical intelligence and vivid story-telling achieve a fine balance. With disarming honesty and grace, Hollenbach not only charts a personal journey toward self-acceptance, but also re-creates the gritty, complex reality behind the 60s generation, whose search for transformation turned the American dream inside out."--Molly Best Tinsley, author of <i>Throwing Knives</i> (winner, Oregon Book Award, 2001) <p>For a discussion guide on <i>Lost and Found</i> and suggestions for further reading, click on the "Read more" link below. 347432 30 9 2004 Lost and Found: My Life in a Group Marriage Commune (CounterCulture series) total:7|4:3|3:3|2:1| 7 23 12 1 2 0 false false Sun Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 12:49:31 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 12:52:12 -0700 2008 http://wordblur.typepad.com/readers/2008...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Jan 09 11:52:10 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 11:52:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Nov 18 12:02:13 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 12:03:12 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 23 06:16:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 06:16:34 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Oct 22 11:16:02 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 11:16:02 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 21 11:32:22 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 21 11:32:22 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Oct 21 10:54:45 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 21 10:54:45 -0700 2008 1 0 0 false false Fri Aug 15 20:54:33 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 20:54:33 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jun 03 03:41:11 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 03 03:41:11 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Jan 11 05:49:49 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 11 05:49:49 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Thu Jan 10 21:39:02 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 21:39:02 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Aug 04 15:12:45 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 04 15:21:56 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=357273
