Lizzie McLane (The Secret of Me) has just received a letter from the adoption agency with information about her birth mother. But her adoptive father unexpectedly dies that same day, and everything else falls away. The poetic forms vary greatly, but the voice is clearly and distinctly Lizzie through them all. A beautifully wrought story with memorable characters and true-to-life issues.
