''Letters from the Lost: A Memoir of Discovery'' is a non-fiction memoir, written by Canadian writer Helen Waldstein Wilkes, first published in December 2009 by Athabasca University Press. In the book, the author chronicles her discoveries after reading a box of letters she had never before seen. Her Jewish parents had fled Czechoslovakia in April 1939〔Ottosen, Erin, June 15, 2011, (''Letters from the Lost'' wins "Alberta Readers’ Choice Award" ), Open AU, Retrieved November 23, 2012〕 to seek haven in Canada. Once in place, they corresponded with family and friends, encouraging them to escape the mounting peril that Hitler had envisioned as the Final Solution. Wilkes would learn that shortly after her parents migration, the ability to flee had been curtailed; and that each letter, compounded the historical anguish the writers were forced to endure.〔Burns, Megan Moore, (''Letters from the Lost'' ), Quill & Quire, Retrieved November 23, 2012〕 ==Awards and honours== ''Letters from the Lost'' received the "Alberta Readers' Choice Award" in 2011,〔〔Edmonton Public Library, (2011 "Alberta Readers' Choice Award" ), Retrieved November 23, 2012〕 for "the best fiction or narrative non-fiction book written by an Alberta author."
