Thank you, NetGalley and Atria Books | Atria/One Signal Publishers for this ARC for review. This was an interesting book about homelessness in the San Francisco, CA, one of the most expensive cities in the US. The author speaks to numerous homeless people in his writing of this book and focuses on 2 people in particular and their stories, but he speaks on the many reasons for homelessness in this country and the many different issues facing people who live on the streets.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book.

The Lost and the Found really sheds light onto the homeless population and how they are essentially ignored in the US. The author has been following the situation in San Francisco for many years and approaches this topic with kindness and empathy.

Our country does not do enough for the homeless and this book sheds light on that. The author does a great job of digging into the unhoused culture and shares a lot about two particular people and their journeys. I will certainly think differently the next time I see someone “signing” along the highway.

The Lost and the Found is an exceptional book that takes readers onto the streets of San Francisco where the homeless reside. It is a powerful and eye-opening look at how long the homeless situation has continued in the city and what is being done to fix it.

Fagan is a reporter who writes with compassion and empathy. He befriended the homeless and joined them in conversations about themselves and their lives on the SF streets. At the heart of his book are two people, Tyson and Rita. The author gives their backstories and connects with family members to assist in getting them off the streets. It was heartwrenching and emotional to read about how they got to where they ended up and what they both went through while living on their own in poverty, powerless, and drug-addicted.

The author's writing style sucked me in immediately. He writes candidly in a familiar way making you feel like you are right there with him experiencing it all. This is a book that will stay with readers. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to read and review this ARC.
