  <default_description>Joseph and Isabelle Winters seem to have it all: a grand home in Holt, New York, a trio of radiant daughters, and a sense that they are safe in their affluent corner of America. But when five-year-old Ellie disappears, the fault lines within the family are exposed: Joseph, once a successful businessman, succumbs to his demons; Isabelle retreats into memories of her debutante days in Savannah; and Ellie&#8217;s bereft sisters grow apart&#8211; Madeline reluctantly stays home, while Caroline runs away.
Fifteen years later, Caroline, now a New Orleans cocktail waitress, sees a photograph of a woman in a magazine. Convinced that it is Ellie all grown up, Caroline embarks on a search for her missing sister. Armed with copies of the photo, an amateur detective guide, and a cooler of Dixie beer, Caroline travels through the New Mexico desert, the mountains of Colorado, and the smoky underworld of Montana, determined to salvage her broken family.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I just read this for the second time, since we were discussing it for our book group.  I liked it a lot.  It was a mixture of suspense and character studies and searching.  Searching for a lost sister, and searching for your true self.<br/><br/>Amanda Eyre Ward participated in the book discussion ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7673168">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[How to be Lost was done well and quite readable (&lt;3 hours; amazing after just finishing JS&amp;MN to read something in one sitting!).

    <body><![CDATA[Amanda Eyre Ward is a writer I can depend on.  Since reading &quot;Sleep Towards Heaven,&quot; I have been on the look out for her books.  &quot;How to Be Lost&quot; is a family story, about a girl's disappearance and the impact that has on her mother and her sisters.<br/><br/>The suspense in this...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53063833">more...</a>]]></body>
