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.
