""I just didn't feel there was a book that tied everything together. You get these news stories of people saying they know where Amelia Earhart is, but you don't have any context beyond the immediate story, all the things that make it a full picture.""
""In the darkest moments of writing, I asked myself why I was focusing on Amelia Earhart, especially with so many existing biographies and theories about her disappearance.""
Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1937 during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe, leading to numerous speculative theories about her fate. Rachel Hartigan's book, Lost: Amelia Earhart's Three Mysterious Deaths and One Extraordinary Life, aims to provide a comprehensive view of Earhart's life and the various theories surrounding her disappearance. Hartigan felt existing biographies lacked a cohesive narrative that connected the different stories and theories about Earhart, prompting her to write this book after participating in a National Geographic expedition to search for evidence of Earhart's fate.
