When I first started to read this new book from Katie Ganshert, I found myself trying to figure out what the relationship was between the two characters, Carmen Hart and Gracie Fisher, before the author revealed it. I didn't succeed, eventually losing myself into the world of both sisters. In The Art of Losing Yourself, Gracie is a teenager on the brink of self-destruction while Carmen is everyone's favorite meteorologist who has it all but on the inside she is falling a part. Ganshert creates two strong female characters who come together to rebuild a place that both have fond memories of- a run down motel owned by their elderly aunt. As they work to rebuild the motel as a surprise for their aunt, each sister is affected differently and in turn their relationship with each other, with their family and with God is affected.
