The Way of Being Lost Author Victoria Price Visits Byrd's Books Tomorrow!

Byrd's Books welcomes Victoria Price on Feb. 17 to celebrate the release of her memoir, "The Way of Being Lost: A Road Trip to My True Self." The program begins at 3 p.m.

Despite doing “all the right things” to successfully rebuild her life and her finances after a period of deep personal and professional turmoil where she lost almost everything, Victoria Price still felt something profoundly missing from her life. Her new book, "The Way of Being Lost: A Road Trip to My Truest Self," is a heartfelt, candid account of rediscovering her joy and purpose after years of struggle, confusion and hopelessness.

About the book: When Victoria was a child, her mother was terrified of her daughter’s free-spirited-ness, and tried to rein it in with common sense and tough love. As an adult still following her mother’s “rules,” Victoria not only had lost her money, her home, and her relationship, she had also lost her self. Realizing she literally had nothing left to lose, Victoria understood that in order to live her truest life, she had to be willing to find a way to let go of her fears and the nagging voice in the back of her head.

Embarking on a metaphoric and literal road trip to find her way home to her truest self, Victoria chose to become intentionally homeless. Along the way, she learned how to reprogram the messages she had internalized, taking inspiration from her father Vincent Price’s example: his love for people and compassion for others, his generosity of spirit and simple kindnesses, his enthusiasm for new experiences, and his love of life. As she got to know her father again through attending horror conventions and celebrations of his life, Victoria decided to live as what she came to call The Way of Being Lost. Victoria learned how to reincorporate her father’s joie de vivre into her own life journey.

About the author: Victoria Price is the author of the critically acclaimed "Vincent Price: A Daughter’s Biography." A popular inspirational speaker on topics ranging from art collecting and design to creativity and spirituality, as well as the life of her famous father, Price has appeared on Good Morning America, A&E’s Biography, and NPR’s Fresh Air and Morning Edition.
