2020. Globally, the world governments dealt with a deadly pandemic. Locally, people wrestled with the effects on their own lives and lifestyles. Lost Year A Pandemic Diary 2020 is one such individual's experience, blogged about month by month as the year, and the pandemic, progressed. Filled with reflections, anecdotes and stories, this book, like the year, is memorable for the pain, the suffering, even the humour, but above all, for the hope of one human's spirit to persist.

Michele Sabad is the author of two previous memoirs, Camp Follower One Army Brat's Story and First We Eat. Food, Life, and More Stories. Both, like this book, are filled with tales of her life as an army brat, Air Force wife, hockey mom, and retired computer consultant, living in her kids' hometown of Aylmer, Quebec, Canada.
