This moving memoir by speaker, educator, and entrepreneur Sam Thiara documents his seemingly impossible quest to find his grand- father’s village—armed with little more than a faded photograph. Sam vividly recounts his adventure through India’s crowded roads—a journey filled with mishaps and surprising encounters, and a growing sense of purpose. Drinking in the beauty of the Taj Mahal and the Golden Temple, he finds himself connecting more deeply with his Sikh faith, while confronting the ugliness of the country’s poverty and in- justice. Along the way, Sam also wrestles with his sense of self. A British- born Indian, living in Canada, whose parents came from Fiji, he questions: Am I Indian? Am I Canadian? Am I Sikh? Who am I? As he begins to piece together the puzzle of his history, Sam realizes he is piecing himself together, too. Touching and inspiring, Lost and Found is a book for anyone who has felt adrift in the world, confirming that what was once lost can be found. Sam Thiara is a storyteller, TEDx speaker, workshop facilitator, educator, and entrepreneur. He is the founder and Chief Motivating Officer at Ignite the Dream Coaching and Consulting, a platform that engages people to define their path; and a lecturer at the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University. He is a proud recipient of the Governor General’s Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
