Maarit McDonough Malone lied. As lies go, it was big. It was also believable. Had Maarit been able to control her anger, the lie might not have surfaced for decades, perhaps a lifetime.But karma being what it is, the cost of the lie had to be paid. Maarit paid the price, as did her daughters, Kay and Anna. The lie jeopardizes Kay's career as an internationally acclaimed opera star, and upends Anna's stable life.Set in Minnesota, along the Mississippi River bluffs and Lake Superior's North Shore, Once Lost is a story of family dynamics. A story of anger requiring resolution, fear inhibiting action, and beauty overcoming cynicism.

In this premiere collection, Sean Michael Hanson pens a poetic tale rife with dry humor, lyricism, and somber reflections within a stark Minnesotan landscape. Romance is lost and found again, mundane labors are endured, and human connection is sought in the quietest moments. Throughout seasons of pitfalls and triumphs, love proves to be the ultimate redeemer of the cynic''s soul.
