She has never chosen to write about her own life or what made her into a gatherer of other people's stories, until now, in \u003ci\u003eFound and Lost\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting with her childhood experience of running her primary school 'Lost and Found' depot, Gold charts the origin of her need to save objects, stories, people - including herself - whom she has sensed to be on a road to perdition. After a series of deaths of people close to her (mother, lover, mentor, friend), she develops, though a series of letters, a meditation on aging, friendship, loss and the forces that link us to the dead. The letters tell of her early activism; her descent into alcoholism and subsequent recovery; and they tell of her discovery of the power of writing to give shape and meaning to a life. \u003ci\u003eFound and Lost\u003c\/i\u003e is both a tender memorial to the extraordinary people in her life, and a compelling tale of redemption.\"Full of wry humour and quiet desolation, Gold’s voice is a large part of what makes this book so compelling…[the] juxtaposition of quotidian detail with profound sorrow in \u003ci\u003eFound and Lost\u003c\/i\u003e is often very moving…this memoir captures the rough texture of lived experience in a way that often eludes more straightforward auto­biography.” —Stephanie Kelley, \u003ci\u003eTLS\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Let us give recognition to Alison Gold. Without her and her talent, too, this poignant account, vibrating with humanity, would not have been written.” —Elie Wiesel on \u003ci\u003eAnne Frank Remembered\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlison Leslie Gold\u003c\/b\u003e's works include \u003ci\u003eAnne Frank Remembered\u003c\/i\u003e, written with Miep Gies, \u003ci\u003eMemories of Anne Frank: Reflections of a Childhood Friend\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Special Fate\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFiet's Vase and Other Stories of Survival\u003c\/i\u003e.
