Having made her way in the world, Janice Erlbaum decides to give something back to the homeless shelter at which she was a resident herself in her youth. While teaching beading classes to the young women, she befriends Sam, a resident who is both brilliant and disturbed. Janice quickly finds herself emotionally invested further and further in Sam’s rehabilitation and deteriorating health.

Have You Found Her takes the reader on an engaging rollercoaster ride. Ms. Erlbaum’s husband Bill is either painted in an especially positive light or is an incredibly accommodating individual. I’m not sure I would have been as tolerant in the same situation! I regretted not finding out what the real story/mystery was involving Sam’s father, as that may have provided some answers or some kind of closure.
