Book Review: (3.5) Lost and Found, Family-Style
Summary: 3 Stars

Mama Vi is ready to enjoy life. To that end, she works hard, prompting her grown children to resolve their problems and relieve her of worry. The dialog is quick and true, and each character has issues, heartbreak, and children who need guidance. Most important, all Vi's children have loving hearts. This story is about reconnecting, strengthening bonds and finding hope in tomorrow. Even at the end, Mama is still holding court, and her children are proud to listen.

MacMillan does again what she does so well: fill a story with a sometimes squabbling family, recognizable folks to fill in the rooms, and a way to the center of the love that holds it all together. She finds her rhythm unerringly and gives us another chapter of human nature and the blessings of a large family.
