In an interview, Geneen Roth (Women, Food, and God) noted that our relationship with food goes much deeper than health concerns: "It's not just about what you put in your mouth. Food is both concrete and metaphorical—it's something we deal with every day, but it can also be a doorway that leads into the hidden rooms of our lives." In Lost and Food, what we eat and the food we choose to buy are revealed as doorways into our relationship with money and how we feel about being alive. As in her previous books, Roth draws unashamedly on her personal experiences to illuminate the subject at the end of her fork.
Geneen Roth is the author of eight previous books, including the number one New York Times bestseller Women Food and God. She has been teaching groundbreaking workshops and retreats for more than thirty years. Roth is a contributor to many publications, from The Huffington Post and Good Housekeeping to O, The Oprah Magazine. She has appeared on numerous national programs, such as Oprah, 20/20, Good Morning America, The View, and NPR's Talk of the Nation. She lives with her husband in northern California.

Overview
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Women Food and God maps a path to meeting one of our greatest challenges-how we deal with money.When Geneen Roth and her husband lost their life savings in the Bernard Madoff debacle, Roth joined the millions of Americans dealing with financial turbulence, uncertainty, and abrupt reversals in their expectations.
