ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Book of Lost Friends" by Lisa Wingate tells the story of two women, Benny, a teacher in 1987, and Hannie, living in 1875, whose lives intertwine through shared connections to the past. Benny seeks to engage her students with local history, while Hannie searches for her family after being separated during slavery. The narrative explores themes of identity, loss, and the importance of remembering history, using the "Lost Friends" column in a newspaper as a symbol of hope. As Benny and her students delve into their community's past, they uncover the complex history of the Gossett family and the enduring power of stories.
