Danielle Steel is an all time favorite author of mine, I was so excited to get a chance to read this one. She always gives us amazing stories. This was no exception it was so well written and the story was beautiful.

Maddie was such an amazing character. Her drive for life was unmatched in any character I've ever read about. Following her on this truly stunning road trip was the ride of my life. Her story of finding herself unraveled beautifully.

The whole aspect of this story was done wonderfully. It dealt with so many topics, including relationships (of all kinds). I can't wait to get lost in another Danielle Steel story.

It’s been awhile since I read a Danielle Steel book and I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed LOST AND FOUND. Maddie is a world famous photographer. She has three grown children and has been divorced for many many years. She lives in a refurbished firehouse in New York City. She falls off a ladder and injures her ankle. Her oldest daughter reads her the riot act and pushes her mother to the brink. Maddie decides to go on a cross country trip to visit her past relationships. She wants to make sure she made the right choices. I thought the characters Maddie and William were unique in their presentation. Both damaged, but taking things slowly but keeping an open mind.

Wow! I honestly wasn’t expecting to love LOST AND FOUND as much as I did. I honestly thought it was just going to be one of those books that people hyped up too much but now I see why. This made me feel all the feels. I laughed. I cried tears of sorrow and tears of joy. This was an emotional rollercoaster and I can’t wait to read more of Danielle Steel’s other books. I planned to finish LOST AND FOUND in a few days. Who knew that I would finish it in a day! Another great story from Danielle Steel. I cried from the start till the end at various parts of the journey. Well… stories about broken families always touch me deeply. You all really have to read this one.

LOST AND FOUND took on a true to life form. Things that happen to everyday people. It is very easy for anyone to relate to. The sorrow, grief, mistakes, forgiveness and ways to overcome them. Also the joy and happiness of breaking away from the past. Danielle Steel writes many books and they’re good stories. They all serve a purpose. They help me escape my boring days and take me to places I will most likely never get to. Literary reads are great of course, and so are books like this! They’ve all got their place and I have many of them on my shelf.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I found this story to be okay, but with a lot of moving parts and characters.

I really wanted to like this novel - growing up I used to watch my mother read Danielle Steel novels and I wanted to give it a try for myself! While the story had some promise, the premise seemed a bit random to me, and more than everything I did not enjoy the writing style at all. I feel that after an author has written many, many books (that all follow a “formula” plot) their writing style can start to feel repetitive - I was really hoping to find something unique and touching, but alas!

Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read and review this title. I will review this title at a different date.

Lost and Found is another great book by Danielle Steel. She never disappoints her readers. Lost and Found finds the main character reflecting on her life and the men in it. Her children are grown, but still strongly influence her life decisions. It is a heartwarming story.

“Lost and Found” was my first read by Danielle Steel. Man! All the feels. This book focuses on the what ifs. The ‘ woulda, coulda, shouldas”. It is a novel of reflection and second chances. I found a few things repetitive but overall, I really enjoyed this book.

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Every single Danielle Steel book I have ever read is amazing! This included! A woman who has just concentrated on raising her kids after she was no longer with her husband. When her daughter suggests that she should get assisted living while only being in her 50s she decided it was time to put things to rest from her past. She looked up all past men she was ever in love with and travelled to them to see if maybe she made any regrets. This is a warm story about a woman trying to find her own identity without her kids. Loved it!

Another wonderful book! This book is about family, children as different
as night and day. Mother got hurt so lets put her in a nursing home. It's
a very good story of an older woman deciding to live her life finally.

Thank you so much Netgalley, Danielle Steel, and your Publisher for giving
me to chance to enjoy this great book!

Maddie is an independent photographer in her fifties. She has raised three successful children on her own, and is happily living in her restored firehouse in Manhattan. When a household accident leaves her with time to think, she embarks on a life-changing trip that will reunite her with the three men she has loved the most. Will she find her forever love?

This is one of Danielle Steel's best. Her latest books have been interesting departures from her normal and comfortable formula. This book is the very best kind of Steel novel: strong heroin, richly drawn characters, and a few twist that keep the reader interested. I have recommended this book to several people already. As a long time reader of this author, I am highly impressed with this effort.

LOST AND FOUND
BY DANIELLE STEEL

Just as the title suggests this is an excellent story about taking stock of your life. Maddie is the main character in this spellbinding story about revisiting the past before moving forward with our future. Every now and then we have to examine our pasts before taking on any big prospects in our future.

I needed something light but with substance and DANIELLE STEEL'S new novel really delivered. I was captivated from the beginning which kept me reading most of this novel in one day. Madison is 58 years young and has a minor accident in her home that could happen to any of us. Her children are grown and all living o no their own. Madison has raised two daughters and a son all by herself, with no help from their father who was long gone

Deanna, Madison's oldest and most critical child comes over to Maddie's house whenever she pleases and just because Maddie has a broken ankle her daughter is suggesting that Maddie sell the wonderful firehouse she has restored and wants her mother to move into assisted living. Maddie is quite capable of being independent as she has raised all three children with her work as a highly sought after professional photographer.

Maddie decides to visit the three men she loved by driving across the country from New York City to Boston where she meets an old flame named Bob who is unhappy in his marriage and has sold out for material gain. She goes to Chicago and then Wyoming. She feels that all three men would not have been right for her. She is buoyed back to her confidant self after a dinner out alone with her middle child, Ben. Ben sympathies with his mother and it is here that the theme of love of family shines bright.

Ben realizes just how loving and selfless his mother is and makes a vow to include his mom in his family's life more often. Maddie goes to visit her youngest daughter, Milegta and learns why she has been so out of touch for the past eight years. This book had some great lessons and I am looking forward to another great read from DANIELLE STEEL. I haven't spoiled it for those who have not read this yet because I haven't mentioned that there is romance to tie this incredibly addictive story to its arc.

Thank you to Net Galley, Danielle Steel and the Publisher for granting me this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is one of her best novels in years. If you are not familiar with Danielle Steel this is one to pick up and read. For old fans Lost and Found is fabulous and what you want in a Danielle Steel romance. Divorced Madison is a world renowned photographer and lives in an old New York City firehouse. Her three adult children phone every couple of months but pretty much ignore her. A fall from a ladder has her oldest daughter suggesting a nursing home and this sets Madison to thinking about her life. She decides to travel the US and look up the men she dated and might have married. A wonderful story of family interaction and reunions. With each of her three children so different it's easy to imagine one of them as someone you know. Great read. Hope Ms. Steel keeps this wonderful family theme going in future books. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I want to love this, I have always been a big fan of Danielle Steele, but I didn’t. It was fine, it was a good story, it was typical Danielle Steele with priveledged characters and everything was just so “perfect”. The weather was perfect, the drive was perfect, everyone was dressed so perfect, it was too much and not enough. Deanna is a bitch, why is she such a bitch? The characters just aren’t fully developed in spite of lengthy discriptions, repeated throughout. If I heard how weird Milegra was one more time, I was going to go hide from her family with her. I do think this is just my take on Danielle Steele’s writing now. I think older fans of hers will continue to love her stories and buy them, but I don’t see new fans enjoying this.

at some point in everyone's life, you stop to wonder what your life might have been like if you'd made different decisions. Danielle Steel has been taking our everyday "what ifs" and turning them into stories that take us down those less travelled roads. When an accident leaves her unable to work, a woman faces her "what ifs" by winding back the clock to visit three men that she thought she'd marry but didn't. Along the way, she finds that maybe her life is not as bad as she thought. Danielle Steel is one of the few authors that always write an excellent story about realistic characters.

** spoiler alert ** Maddie was a successful world renowned photographer, who people begged to her take their picture from Presidents, Famous People, High End Magazine Covers, and even for story about natural disasters and war torn countries. She was 58 and on top of her game in her professional world. In her personal life she didn't really have one, she kept herself busy with work not to feel the loneliness. Her three children were frown and lead their own busy and recluse lives and has very little time for Maddie.

Maddie has a accident while she was alone and her oldest went a little crazy telling her mom she was too old to love alone, too fragile to live in her beloved firehouse home, that she needed to retire, sell her home and get a live in helper. Maddie was so hurt and dejected from these rants, she started to doubt her life choices now and in her past. During her a consent she stumbled upon a box of old love letters and photos of her 3 past loves. She began question if her decided to put her kids and career first where always the right choice.

This doubt lead Maddie on a road trip to visit this 3 men. Each had brought love and life to her when they were together. She learned as she visited her past, she had always made the right choices for herself and them. She was on the right path and she loved her life even if her daughter and children didn't like them.

She meet a writer along her journey, he told her she was not old and needing of help, she was strong and capable of working until she was not. Their friendship grew quickly, his support and encouragement lead her to better relationships with her children and grandchildren.

So even though she lost people and things in her life, in the end of her journey to found herself, happiness, love and acceptance.

Great read. The author wrote a story that was interesting and moved at a pace that kept me engaged. The characters were easy to invest in.

Enjoyed the book very much. Excellent narrative and wonderful depiction of the characters. Highly recommended!

An amazing story of finding yourself at an age when your kids outgrow you. It took me on an emotional journey. I cried so much with Maddie that it felt like I was right there with her experiencing all that life was throwing at her. It was rewarding to see how her family came through in the end. I highly recommend this book.

Lost and Found is a very good book.
I have been a fan of DS for 40 years, I have not always loved every book, however, this book was identifiable to those of us with young adult children. I was entertained throughout the book and I recommend it to DS fans new and old.
