"Introduction to Lost & Found" - Season 7

Personal Stories of loss and discovery—trials, serendipities, and life after

—another collection of personal stories from the Personal Story Publishing Project and “6-minute Stories” Podcast

Forty-five writers share insightful, touching, and thought-provoking stories about the trials and casualties of losing something or someone near and dear to them. Or they write of an unexpected experience, a serendipitous discovery, that like the loss changes something, changes everything. These stories from their lives reflect our collective human experience, moments that divide life into a before and after,
creating at a point of transition a time of reckoning with a changed reality—something gone, something new—a past and a future.  

Through 45 short stories, you share in the personal experiences of writers—both new voices and seasoned storytellers. They skillfully share and reflect on episodes from their lives, offering lessons learned, cautions for consideration, and encouragements for the journeys of other pilgrims, such as  we all are. Through these stories we glean a glimpse of other lives, peeking into the travails and serendipities of others, and considering for ourselves what measure of life we have in hand from what we have lost and what we have found.
