Susie Price asked Lisa Wingate:

I very much enjoyed your book "The Book of Lost Friends". Your portrayal of the tearing apart of slave families is heart-wrenching. But Hannie is so strong and kind. I also lost of piece of my heart for the teenagers in Augustine, Louisiana. To have it be a mystery on top of everything else was perfection!! Have you traveled to Louisiana?

Lisa Wingate Yes. Numerous times over the years. I made a special trip for this book, researching details, visiting a former slave plantation, etc. Here is a link to my website page of resources about this book. Scroll down to see the link to my incredible week long journey when I wrote this book. Also other resources you might enjoy. Just cut and past this into your browser.
