My Lost and Found Life

By: Melodie Bowsher

Narrated by: Jennifer Betit Yen

Ashley Mitchell thinks she has the perfect life: popularity, a hot boyfriend, and great fashion sense. But Ashley's world falls apart when her mother is accused of embezzling a million dollars, and no one can find her. Before she can say Dolce & Gabbana, Ashley's life goes from perfect to pathetic.

With questions growing about her mother and her money quickly disappearing, Ashley is forced to make some drastic changes in her life. With nowhere else to go, she moves into an old camper behind a gas station and takes a job in a quirky San Francisco coffee shop where she wouldn't have been caught dead a month ago. But life at Mad Malcolm's Cyber Caf isn't what she expected. At the Madhouse she finds friends, confidence, and courage to start putting her life back together. But will Ashley ever have the chance to share her new life with her mother?

This heartfelt coming of age story will resonate with every daughter who ever took her mother for granted, and every young woman who must step out on her own and not just survive, but thrive.

A Modern Coming of Age and Mother-Daughter Story

I really enjoyed this book. I started off feeling like the main character was so awful and self-centered. Then, it was fun to see her grow into a "real" person and to see how her relationship with her mom changed even when her mom wasn't there. I don't want to write more and give anything away but I recommend this book! The narration is great, too, because the person reading it made all the characters really different and I felt like they were all real people.
