“Unraveling Secrets of the Heart: Deborah Derrickson Kossmann’s Journey in ‘Lost Found Kept’ Reveals the Power of Redemption”
This is not that book. Lost Found Kept is the antithesis of the empty nest. It’s a fully feathered, highly dysfunctional one in which everything is there, but the people. The 1960’s tri-level home is filled with 15 years of garbage, human waste, water-logged newspapers and books, liquifying chicken sandwiches, and more. Over the course of six weeks and the manpower of the author and her husband, Marc, (and a few guest helpers), the house is painstakingly emptied, flipped, and restored. With her psychologist’s empathy and clinical approach, Derrickson Kossmann provides a glimpse into her childhood, her mother’s childhood, a troubling series of losses, while offering a sense of dignity and compassion.
