I loved this story. A novel in verse about adoption, self-discovery, family and longing. Rynn just wants to find her birth family, has a terrible relationship with adoptive mother and a close one with her adoptive father. When she finally does some research, she discovers a sister she didn’t know and a way to fill the hole in her heart and a birth mother who left bread crumbs to find her true self and her family. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC! (

I thought Betty's first YA book was outstanding, but this is even better. She continues to capture the essence of rural Maine, but in this story does the same for a teen searching for answers, her biological family and to understand why her adoptive mom is so cruel. Reading her thoughts/insight as the story progresses make you realize just how insightful Rynn truly is. We tend to forget that quality in teens and we shouldn't. The supporting characters are all well drawn and highly relatable as well as seeming like real Mainers. An excellent story. (
