Commentary As Books Once Was Lost

Samara Taylor used to believe in miracles. But her mother is in rehab, and her father seems more interested in his congregation than his family. And when a young girl in her small town is kidnapped, her already-worn thread of faith begins to unravel. (Young Adults)

Samara Taylor used to believe in miracles. She used to believe in a lot of things. As a pastor's kid, it's hard not to buy in to the idea of the perfect family, a loving God, and amazing grace. But lately, Sam has a lot of reason to doubt. Her mother lands in rehab after a DUI and her father seems more interested in his congregation than his family. When a young girl in her small town is kidnapped, the local tragedy overlaps with Sam's personal one, and the already-worn thread of faith holding her together begins to unravel.

In her third novel, acclaimed author Sara Zarr examines the coexistence of affliction and hope, and what happens when everything you thought you believed---about God, about your family, about yourself---is transformed.

Weigh Up Epithetical Books Once Was Lost

Sara Zarr has a real gift for getting into the heart of a teenager. Her characters are so unbelievably real, that you simply cannot put the book down until you know what's happened to them. This book was no exception, in fact, it's my favorite of hers so far. A beautiful book about faith and family and life. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I usually like Sara Zarr, but couldnt connect to Sam or WHAT WE LOST. Written in 2009 the attitudes felt dated. Additionally, resolutions were simplistic and uninspired.

3.5 I wonder how you're supposed to know the exact moment when there's no more hope. I have read 5 books from Sara Zarr (including this one) and I can say that this book is my least favorite. Not that it wasn't good. It was good. I bet some people will like it more than I do. (Actually, some Goodreads people liked it more than I do haha). It's just that I didn't get attached whole-heartedly with the main character, who is Samara. And sometimes, I did feel I can't connect with the story either. I

Street Corner TBR Pile reduction challenge #7 (Olivia)I seldom read books about faith and religion, simply because, as what you could consider a non-believer, they are rarely something I can relate to. In this case, I have to say, Sara Zarr really succeeded in creating a very relatable heroine, not only for people who can identify themselves with her faith, but also for everyone else. This book does not preach, and although Samara's situation is closely linked to her disappearing faith in God,

Book+ ****Audiobook=***I've heard it said by many that authors shouldn't narrate their own work. I mostly believe this to be true. Sometimes it works-- as in the case of "The Graveyard Book" by Neil Gaiman-- but with this book, it doesn't. Zarr may understand the emotional intensity of her work, but she doesn't know how to convey that vocally.However, her only so-so reading didn't detract from enjoyment of the story at all. I've gone to church my whole life-- quite literally-- and I was

"I want to believe the stories, that there really is someone who would search the whole mountainside just to find that one thing that he loves, and bring it home."I am at a total loss as what to rate this book. But one thing I can say for sure is that it gave me a lot to mull over and analyze, that I even thought about how I felt at the age of 15 again.At Samara's age I can remember being very contemplative like she was in the story. She feels the urge to mature and to fully grasp the

This review was first published on Clear Eyes Full Shelveshttp://cleareyesfullshelves.com/blog/...A perfect flower graces the cover of Sara Zarrs Once Was Lost. Its soft pink petals top a long, graceful stem. One perfect petal drifts from an otherwise unmarred blossom like a tear falling to the ground. Blemished  perfection symbolized as a lone teardrop perfectly represents Sams life.  Samara, Sam to her family and friends, lives in a cushioned and beautiful world of her familys creation.
