Once Was Lost by Sara Zarr

4.0

Overall, a very good. Interesting story line, with the would-be juxtaposition of a kidnapped/ missing girl, Jody, and the main character, Sam, seeming to be emotionally and psychologically missing. Sam needed to find herself, just as the town needed to find Jody. I like the fact that although it included a rather sad thing (kidnapping), it wasn't gory or anything of the sort. I really liked this book, and would reccomend it; it's not your run-of-the-mill book.
