How to Be Lost

 by Amanda Eyre Ward

From the author of the celebrated Sleep Toward Heaven comes a novel of love and secrets. To their neighbors in suburban Holt, New York, the Winters family has it all: a grand home, a trio of radiant daughters, and a sense that they are safe in their affluent corner of America. But when five-year-old Ellie disappears, the fault lines within the Winters family are exposed. Joseph, once a successful businessman, succumbs to his demons. Isabelle retreats into memories of her debutante days in Savannah, Georgia. And Ellie's bereft sisters grow apart: Madeline reluctantly stays home, while Caroline runs away.

Fifteen years later, Caroline, now a New Orleans cocktail waitress, sees a photograph of a woman in People Magazine. Convinced that it is Ellie all grown up, Caroline embarks on a search for her missing sister, armed with Xerox copies of the photograph, an amateur detective guide, and a cooler of Dixie beer. As Caroline travels through the New Mexico desert, the mountains of Colorado, and the smoky underworld of Montana, she devotes herself to salvaging her broken family.

With dark humor and gorgeous prose, Amanda Eyre Ward brings us a spellbinding novel about the stories we are given, and the stories we embrace.

I accept PayPal and expect payment within 3 days unless you notify me. I usually ship within one business day of receipt of payment. If you're still "shopping" with me, please do NOT check out until you are finished; I can then combine your invoices for the shipping discount.

 

 

I package ALL my items with great care; you can bid with confidence and know your winning item will leave my hands securely.

I offer a shipping discount for items combined in same package; if you win this item and will be bidding on other of my auctions, just let me know. I'll invoice you with the shipping discount. I love to combine shipping!

Combined shipping saves you money! To add additional items to your initial purchase usually adds very little weight to the package; I save on shipping supplies and you save money.

 

 

I usually ship within 1-2 business day of receiving payment.   I offer two to three shipping options so you can determine which level of service suits your needs; if you need to "Get it Fast" or can wait for Media Mail, the choice is yours.

I offer insurance as an option and recommend it for delicate collectibles, but it is your choice.

I'm proud of my Positive Feedback and work hard to uphold it. If you have a problem with anything relating to the sale, contact me through eBay Messages as soon as possible. I'm very easy to work with and appreciate your business.

DSR Ratings are an important part of my feedback, I ask that you rate me fairly and to please keep the following in mind:

• Be honest. Your objective ratings help me to improve the overall buyer experience, improve my performance and help future buyers to also accurately evaluate me as a 5 star seller.
• Review each of your purchased items title and description prior to rating me on the item as described section.
• Please consider only business days when evaluating communication. I'm not always able to check email on weekends and holidays.
• When rating on the shipping time, please rate me on the time it took me to mail the item, not the time it took you to receive the item.  Please don't hold me responsible for delays in mail services, international custom delays or for the time it took for your payment to clear.
• When rating me on the all important shipping and handling charges, remember that sellers may charge actual packaging materials costs and a reasonable handling fee to cover our time and direct costs associated with shipping.  For international transactions, buyers may also be responsible for duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees as required by individual country laws.
