Almost in spite of the overarching religious themes of this book, I really enjoyed it (and stayed up much too late to finish it!). A survival story at it's core, The Distance Between Lost and Found also does a great job talking about interpersonal relationships (between teens, between parents and children, and more) and how they're impacted when we deal (and don't deal) with trauma and scandal. I really appreciated the way the book gave differing viewpoints on religion (lost & found, wanting to believe, etc...) and didn't seem to discredit any of them. I also appreciated the way it showed how people can do their best based on their understanding of a situation (especially when religious "purity" becomes a part of it) and still make everything worse.
