In the same year, Kathryn Schultz’s father died and Schultz met the love of her life. She found her wife and lost her father. While riding the elevator of depression and elation, Schultz does more than simply bring us along for the ride. She universalizes her experiences. We all lose things, daily, so that over the course of a lifetime we are destined to lose everything from a paper we put down just a minute ago to a thought that flew through our heads without pausing long enough to hang onto, to the people we love most. Similarly, we stumble upon a song that brings us shocking joy, an ability to achieve what we previously thought impossible, and if we are lucky, and forgiving, a life partner. Schultz gets us to recognize that life is observing, accepting, and, because we have few better choices, embracing both lost and found.
