Lost & Found Lovers: Facts and Fantasies of Rekindled Romances
Many adults think about their first loves from time to time, pine over "the one who got away," or wonder "what might have been." Lost love is a timeless theme, immortalized in fiction through countless songs, plays, movies, and television shows.
Nancy Kalish, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at California State University, Sacramento, is the only researcher who has empirically studied couples who tried rekindled romances. Her book, Lost & Found Lovers: Facts and Fantasies of Rekindled Romances, originally published by William Morrow, Inc., describes her international landmark study of 1001 participants; profiles of the adults who tried reunions are given, along with explanations of the phenomenon of lost love reunions, and stories in the words of the men and women who lived them.
Although the original book was published in 1997, the profiles and explanations have remained constant. The only thing that has changed with the Internet explosion is the couples' way of contacting and communicating with each other -- and a higher rate of extramarital affairs. For people who are single, divorced or widowed, reunions are often highly successful. Kalish's research confirms the importance of "puppy love" and should be required reading for parents of teenagers who are dating.
