Lost Founder tells the story of how Harriett Rossetto finds herself without a life mission after she is pushed out when corporate sponsors take over Beit T’Shuvah, a recovery center and home for Jewish ex-felons she created and ran for 40 years. It tells the story of how she had to rediscover her purpose in life at 80 years old. It is the living embodiment of the saying that “endings are only new beginnings in disguise.”
Humorously honest and insightful, Harriett Rossetto takes us on a journey into the soul of loss when we encounter a forced transition. This is not just chicken soup for the soul, but a complete meal.
