Alma knows family is more than just blood.  She leads fulfilling life, sharing everything with her best friend and cherishing her mother and her stepfather, Adam.  But when Adam disappears from the family and her mother starts acting funny and selling off all of their possessions, Alma begins to question the stability of her family situation.

An important book about family and knowing our histories.  Readers of Forever or a Long Long Time will appreciate Carter’s delicate handling of the main character’s internal thinking.  Suggested for readers ages 10 and up.
