The forest, in which it is so fun to pick mushrooms in summer, seems familiar as the back of your hand, and your hometown, with its streets and squares, is small and cozy. Until someone gets lost in it: a loved one, a best friend, a neighbor, someone's grandmother or an unfamiliar child. This book is about how people search and find, how they learn to empathize constructively and act in even the most disturbing situations. This is both the notes of a journalist and the diary of a volunteer of the search and rescue squad "Lisa Alert," who does everything so that the lost person does not disappear. What is it like to be inside the search, to be the driving force, trying to reduce the distance between the search engines and the person wandering in the dark? Anxiety, foreboding, fear, goodwill and responsibility. All this is absorbed in one desire - to find a person alive. What to do when relatives do not want to help in the search? Does the search engine have the right to promise something to the lost family? Why is the squad created? What motives guide these people? There are many answers, they are very different, sometimes unexpected.
