Description
All Is Not LOST is the sad, funny, self-effacing yet soul-bearing story of what happened when one woman set aside a lifelong dream in favor of her kids, only to find herself battling her own ego and unfulfilled ambition. This is the memoir of former working actress Shannon Kenny Carbonell, and her own bittersweet account of the journey she undertook to reconcile her growing feelings of failure and the sudden loss of her identity.
Shannon—wife of actor Nestor Carbonell of LOST, Bates Motel, and The Morning Show fame— knew she was making the better choice for her, no matter how painful, when she decided on full-time motherhood over her career. But little did she know that shortly after her family moved to Oahu, Hawaii, while Nestor shot LOST, Shannon would find herself desperate to feed the part of her that was suddenly starved of creativity and accomplishment. Just like the LOST survivors, she had crashed on an island that would test her, heal her, and surround her with the people who would eventually show her the way home.

I loved Shannon Kenny Carbonell's memoir for a myriad of reasons. Despite her impressive accomplishments in the cutthroat field of acting., she's unflinchingly honest about her personal and professional insecurities.
I'm a Los Angeles native, and I come from an entertainment family. I've read countless actors' memoirs and I found "All Is Not LOST"" to be unique in the sea (pun intended) of this literary genre. "All Is Not LOST" is a worthwhile, fascinating read.

We all have our dreams and our goals that we strive for in life. All is Not Lost is written by a woman who worked to achieve her dreams of being a famous actress, but didn't reach the heights that she had hoped for.
Shannon Kelly Carbonell had wanted to be an actress since she was a child. She acted in both her native Australia and in the United States. As a married mother of two, she sometimes struggled with being simply a mom, a wife, or a daughter. When her husband, Nestor Carbonell of TV's Lost, took the family to Hawaii. It was there that Shannon began to heal.
This book was beautiful. Shannon spoke candidly and openly about her struggle. Her experience could be a lesson to so many others. I highly recommend All Is Not Lost to anyone whose dreams seem out of reach.
