(2) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Marin Greene won't allow herself to love new foster mother Lucy (her sixth in seven years). Marin knows her birth mother is out there, and she will find her. Throughout, Marin's loneliness and longing are palpable: "What would it be like...to have a mother who wanted her?" Luckily, Lucy wants a daughter just as badly. A contemplative, multilayered story that honors foster-to-adoptive families.
