I was bawling when I read the first few pages of this book. Literally bawling! How could an author have the audacity to start a book so tragically? I followed Olivia through her pain - her loss, her guilt, her withdrawal. I felt it with her. And I felt her anger with Claudia for even suggesting that she get out of the house and start to live again. Seriously?? How can you possibly think of living again when your whole world has been ripped from you?Enter Cash Kingston. Billionaire,single,handsome sexy widower in need of a nanny. Does Olivia take the job or stay in her cocoon? Well, she takes the job of course and this employer/employee relationship takes an emotional roller coaster....you'd better believe it...Hang on! Olivia shows her tenacious side and won't back down when it comes to the welfare of Cash's two kids, Gideon and Eden. Think of how difficult it is for her to become attached to kids when hers have been killed. As for Cash and Olivia...more often that not, I found myself thinking "Get a room for God's sake you guys...GEEZ!"  I was screaming at them to get it together. They both had demons to face with the guilt from the losses of their spouses and I felt so badly for them. Each had a difficult time saying goodbye and gaining acceptance from the spirits of their deceased spouses. I felt them at the cemetery. I wept as both Cash and Olivia spent time at the graves seeking the approval from Derek and Vanessa. Just when you think everything is rosy we are hit with a huge twist...HUGE! Can Cash and Olivia rely on the love and trust they've built to get through this? Will the family pull together and accept this? Is this the end of the fairytale?Lost and Found is a beautiful romance...a journey to overcoming the depths of despair and walking into the beautiful sunlight of redemption.Kudos to Jennifer Bryan Yarbrough for giving us this beautiful touching story that I'll never forget.
