This is the story of Susan and Christopher. They were a loving couple. They move to a more peaceful place so that she can care for him. He has dementia. One day she stepped out for a short time. He wandered off in the frigid landscape and was lost. She searched for him and called in help.

There are three major characters in this book. Jeff is part of the search and rescue team. Corey is a boy that cannot talk and has faced rejection. Jeff stays with Susan as the team searches for Christopher. Corey, Jeff and Susan are each lost in their own way.

This is a character driven plot. It will be easy for caretakers to relate to Susan’s situation. The tale is fast paced, heart-wrenching and heartwarming. Alice Lichenstein’s "Lost" is creative and courageous. The style is almost prose. The characters are believable. Lichenstein is a gifted writer.
