A compulsively readable work of psychological suspense from the first mile to the last, All the Lost Things introduces a remarkable young heroine who leaps off the page, charts a life-changing journey, and ultimately reveals the sometimes heartbreaking intersections of love, truth, and memory. And Dolly isn't sure if she'll ever get back. The adventure isn't fun anymore, but home is ever further away. He becomes paranoid and irresponsible, even a little scary. But as they travel farther south, into a country Dolly no longer recognizes, her dad's behavior grows increasingly erratic. And, for the first time, she has her father's attention all to herself. There are milkshakes, shopping sprees, a theme park, and all the junk food she isn't allowed to eat under her mother's watchful eye. Every pit stop promises a new delight for Dolly and her favourite plastic horse, Clemesta, who she's brought along for the adventure.

The first days on the road are incredibly exciting. It has been a while since her dad has spent time with her, just the two of them, and so when he scoops her up and promises to take her on the adventure of a lifetime, Dolly is thrilled. When we first meet seven-year-old Dolly, she immediately grabs us with a voice that is both precocious and effervescent. From 'a master of slow-burn suspense' ( Shelf Awareness ), a simmering family drama about a father and daughter who embark on a road trip through the American South - but what they're leaving behind is as important as what lies ahead.
