Before Everything Broke: A Lost and Found Short Story

A sharp, emotionally charged prequel to the forthcoming Lost and Found series from women's fiction author, Rachel Del Grosso.

When Harriet, her husband Alex, their teenage twins, and his complicated family gather for a “perfect” lake weekend, simmering tensions boil over into long-buried resentments, impossible truths, and unexpected alliances. Between wine-soaked dinners, awkward toasts, and whispered confessions at dawn, Harriet begins to see her marriage—and herself—with startling clarity. Heartfelt, raw, and unflinchingly honest, this story captures the exact moment a family vacation becomes the beginning of an unraveling.
