A finalist for the National Book Award, Lost in the City features 15 poignant short stories, each set in Washington, D.C.

Life doesn’t come with a manual, and no one really knows what they’re doing when they start. R. A. Booth’s “Life Simplified: Shit I Wish I Learned Sooner” offers a candid look into the messy and unpredictable journey of figuring things out. Drawing from personal experience, Booth reveals the truth that nobody truly has it all together. Instead of pretending to have all the answers, Booth shares practical lessons learned through the ups and downs of life. The book is a collection of insights and tips meant to help listeners direct their path with a bit more ease.
