Reviews

"The Department of Lost and Found is honest, touching and funny. Winn Scotch's thoroughly engaging and optimistic debut simply sparkles!" -- Claire Cook, author of Life's a Beach "With a heroine who dares to be cranky and bitchy abour her disease while still attempting to keep her 'brave' game face on. The story is real, honest, engrossing, and funny, too. Plus any book with a Bob Barker cameo is aces with me." -- Valerie Frankel "Allison Winn Scotch's thoroughly engaging and optimistic debut novel simply sparkles!" -- Claire Cook, author of Life's A Beach "The changes and realizations that the characters make are profound and moving....An impressive debut." -- Booklist Where you should read it: On the beach. It's smart and well-written, but still divertingly light. -- Marie Claire Told with humor and hope for a happier ending, this heartwarming debut will encourage readers to take stock. -- Told with humor and hope for a happier ending, this heartwarming debut will encourage readers to take stock. -- Theta magazine Editor's Choice: When [Natalie Miller's] carefully crafted life begins to crumble...she finds inspiration from unexpected people. -- Redbook Magazine "A light, fast and fun read on a serious topic." -- Philadelphia Inquirer
