Hi. We've tried some searches in Google, Google Books, and a few library catalogs using the details you recall with no success. Was this a novel, a collection of short stories, or non-fiction? How long ago did you read it? Could you estimate the publication year?
Some of the suggestions in this blog post, such as the crowdsourcing resources, may be helpful in your search. https://t.co/HzBXHwd23j

We shelve fiction in our circulating collections by the author's last name, but an anthology with multiple authors would be shelved by the first word in the title that is not a, an, or the. "A Short Hike" would be shelved under S not A.
Here's an example from our catalog. The Book of Dragons: An Anthology is shelved under B not T as you can see from the call number SCI FI B.
