The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate
This is a historical novel of three women searching for family during the post-Civil War South, and a modern-day teacher who learns of their story while trying to find a way to connect to her students.
This book brings to life stories from actual “Lost Friends” advertisements that appeared in Southern newspapers after the Civil War as newly freed slaves desperately searched for their loved ones who had been sold away. An interesting but heartbreaking story of family connection.

Ever since going through a Chihuly glass exhibit in Salt Lake as a teenager, I’ve had a fondness for the art of glass sculpting. I was excited to come across a reality show on Netflix featuring glassblowers! The episodes are less than 30 minutes which is really nice, and getting a look into the world of this art form is very interesting.
