From rising star Caela Carter, author of My
Life with the Liars and How to Be a Girl in the World, comes a
captivating and heartfelt story about siblings who learn that love can never be
divided, only multiplied.
Flora and her brother, Julian, don’t believe they were
born. They’ve lived in so many foster homes, they can’t remember where they
came from. And even now that they’ve been adopted, Flora still struggles to
believe that they’ve found their forever home. Though Flora is trying her best
to trust two new people, when she finds out that there will be a new baby, she’s
worried that there won’t be enough love for everyone.
So along with their new mother, Flora and Julian begin a
journey to go back and discover their past—for only then can they really begin
to build their future.
Perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead’s When
You Reach Me, Kathryn Erskine’s Mockingbird, and Ali
Benjamin’s The Thing About Jellyfish, this powerful novel about
love and family will inspire and delight readers of all ages.
