Address Book and Groups vanished with Mavericks download.  Is there a way to get them back?

Downloading Mavericks caused my Address Book and all associated email Groups to vanish along with all Bookmarks.  Does anyone know of a way to get them back?  I wish I had backups of these items, but it seems to me that the wise and sophisticated designers of Mavericks could have provided for incorporating existing data.
My printer which had been functioning perfectly under Mountain Lion suddenly showed up as disconnected.  By good luck a download of new drivers from HP allowed me to print again.
I am annoyed that Apple did not make Mavericks seamlessly integrate existing data durng the download.
Oh well, it is what it is, so I'd be grateful for any ideas (other than beating me up because I don't have backups - I've already smacked myself around about that!)

Thanks Guys,
Yes the iCloud seems to be enabled but I don't find a backup for the missing items, or perhaps I don't know how to access it.  I haven't been able to find a way to open the backup files.
