About The Book
Lost ??
Lost is a tender, emotionally rich novel that tells the story of Roman, a vulnerable dog navigating a world shaped by rejection, fear, and fleeting hope. Told entirely from Roman’s perspective, the book captures the inner life of a creature often dismissed as small, shy, or difficult, yet deeply observant and emotionally intelligent.
As Roman moves through shelters, temporary homes, and uncertain futures, readers witness how neglect, bullying, and abandonment shape his instincts and his heart. Each environment leaves a mark, teaching him how to survive, adapt, and quietly endure. Yet despite repeated losses, Roman never loses his longing for connection.
The story unfolds gently but powerfully, using warmth, humor, and aching honesty to explore themes of belonging, trauma, and unconditional love. Lost is not written for shock or spectacle. It is written for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or displaced. Roman’s journey becomes a mirror: revealing how love, patience, and hope can exist even in the smallest and most wounded places.
