What Was Lost Audiobook

Why mom forgot it at soccer practice: 

This has no romance in it, and is about a widow coming to terms with her grief and the loss of self she experienced over many years of being a lone and sad. It's more uplifting than it sounds!

Why this book could still be your favorite child:

Mira tackles a lot of big things with a lot of grace and Diet Coke. There's a scene or two where she stops wearing make up—and it's all so worth it. XD

Life story:

Mira Montgomery is the only one left.

Her brother’s unexpected death leaves her tragically alone.

No husband.

No children.

No family.

At fifty-one, decades of unrealized dreams crash down around her all at once.

Then a real estate development company threatens the only stability Mira has left: her store.

The place she built.

The routine she trusts.

The life that still feels like hers.

Meanwhile, her friends in the Health and Happiness Society seem to have more good news than ever.

As everyone around her moves forward, Mira feels increasingly stuck in grief, loneliness, and the painful question of what her life is supposed to become now.

She is left with a choice.

Stay and risk falling apart.

Or walk away from everything familiar and start fresh.

But leaving means stepping away from the friends who have held her up when she could no longer hold herself together.

Can Mira survive without the comfort of the Health and Happiness Society?

Can she find something worth building after so much has been lost?

And can gratitude coexist with grief?

What Was Lost is book 5 and the final novel in The Health and Happiness Society by Katie Cross, an emotional contemporary chick lit story about grief, depression, friendship, gratitude, fresh starts, self-worth, and finding the courage to keep living when life looks nothing like you expected.
