Vstupte do chaotického světa rodiny Flynnových, kde nic není tak, jak se zdá, a každý člen balancuje na hranici osobní katastrofy. Rodiče Bud a Catherine se potýkají s rozpadajícím se otevřeným manželstvím, zatímco jejich dcery žijí své vlastní divoké životy: nejstarší Abigail se zaplétá s pochybým mužem přezdívaným „War Crime Wes“, prostřední Louise vede tajnou korespondenci s internetovým teroristou a geniální nejmladší dcera Harper, posedlá paranoidními představami, je poslána do nápravného tábora v divočině. Do jejich ospalého přímořského městečka přichází Paul Alabaster, záhadný miliardář, jehož přítomnost provází šeptané zvěsti o korupci. Když se Harper rozhodne odhalit jeho temná tajemství, nevědomky vtahuje celou rodinu do středu nebezpečné kriminální sítě. Kniha Zbloudilé ovečky je rodinná sága 21. století, která s černým humorem a nekompromisní upřímností zkoumá, jak daleko jsme ochotni zajít pro ty, které milujeme – a jak může chaos paradoxně vést k novému porozumění.

Think your family is dysfunctional? Meet the Flynns. For the three Flynn daughters, it's been disastrous since their parents opened up their marriage. Abigail, the eldest, is dating an ex-soldier several years her senior nicknamed 'War Crimes Wes'. Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist. And the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to a wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone - or something - is monitoring the town's citizens. Casting a shadow across their lives is Paul Alabaster, a nefarious local billionaire. Rumours of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. No one except Harper, whose obsession with Alabaster's machinations sends the family hurtling into a criminal conspiracy - one that may just, finally, bring them closer together. Rippling with humour, warmth and style, Lost Lambs turns family dysfunction into an art form.

Welcome to Alabaster Harbour©The three Flynn daughters – Abigail, Louise and Harper – are each rebelling towards adulthood, whilst their two Flynn parents – Bud and Catherine – just can’t stop behaving like kids.It’s been disastrous since Bud and Catherine opened up their marriage, and none of the Flynns can remember the last time a meal was cooked, a load of laundry was done, or a social code was abided by. Not that Catherine and Bud aren’t trying – and trying new things. Bud still drives to his job at the Harbour© in the family minivan, which, yes, is also now his home, and Catherine still refuses to conform to domestic pressures – she’s an artist, a woman, and no one understands her! And the girls? Surely they’re fine, whatever it is they’re up to.As the Flynns are each occupied by their own upheavals, Lost Lambs expands past them into a hilarious portrait of suburban dysfunction, all the way up to a nefarious local billionaire whose machinations may just – finally – bring the family closer together. This is an original, funny and compassionate portrait of the perverse pleasures and perils of our most intimate reality: our family.
