Lost2bFound by Glenn Johnstone (Book Review #2277)

In Lost2bFound Glenn Johnstone’s incredible memoir, he tells his amazing story of resilience, reinvention, and adventures through adversity in the most genuine, heartfelt way possible. In this story, Glenn describes everything that went into his journey from diagnosis and amputation to rediscovery and success. He allows the reader an inside look at his journey through adversity, to show others how much strength lies within each person to push forward.

The pivotal moment in Glenn’s memoir was when he chose to reconstruct his life after suffering an above-knee amputation — the choice to have an amputation, even though it was the hard choice to make, ultimately opened the door to Glenn’s new life. With his new sporting prosthetic, the Bartlett Tendon Knee, Glenn started to reclaim one of his first loves: biking. What once gave Glenn freedom and happiness now became a challenge for Glenn as he rode on mountain trails, over rough terrain, and through the same doubts that had inhibited him from using his body.

Glenn’s writing throughout the memoir is extremely honest and genuine. He shares openly and honestly about the struggles and disappointments; the reader will feel the frustration, doubts, and moments of hopelessness that were all a part of Glenn’s journey. At the same time, he shares the little triumphs and immense gratitude that came as a result of the journey. Glenn shares stories of learning how to ride again, rediscovering adventure, and finding support from Pace Rehabilitation and Arctic ONE, giving the book both Practical Depth, Emotional Resonance, and Instructional Value.

What makes Lost2bFound so amazing is the balance between vulnerability and inspiration. Glenn is not presented as a flawless hero; rather, Glenn presents himself as someone who faltered, stumbled, and doubted: but persevered, and found a way to continue moving forward. It is through this honesty that the strength of his story lays, as it represents not only overcoming the physical limitation of the amputation, but the mental shift it creates, and refusing to let that adversity define him.

Lost2bFound is much more than a story of survival; it also reflects an invitation. It encourages readers to look beyond the adversity they face and find joy in unexpected places; it encourages them to redefine what is possible. Whether the adversity has been similar to Glenn’s in terms of health challenges, or one simply wants a story about perseverance, Lost2bFound embodies the idea that through Courage, Community, and Determination, Life can be Rebuilt and Reimagined in AMAZING WAYS!

Glenn Johnstone’s journey is not just one story; through this memoir, Glenn creates a forum for every person striving to find light where darkness prevails. It is both uplifting, raw, and profoundly human; it is a story that stands as a testament to the unwavering nature of INSPIRATION and the ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES that one can create when they pursue a Goal, Dream, or Aspiration with the Determination to Achieve Success.
