Jill MacSweeny just wishes everything could go back to normal. But ever since her dad died, she's been isolating herself from her boyfriend, her best friends--everyone who wants to support her. And when her mom decides to adopt a baby, it feels like she's somehow trying to replace a lost family member with a new one.
Mandy Kalinowski understands what it's like to grow up unwanted--to be raised by a mother who never intended to have a child. So when Mandy becomes pregnant, one thing she's sure of is that she wants a better life for her baby. It's harder to be sure of herself. Will she ever find someone to care for her, too?
As their worlds change around them, Jill and Mandy must learn to both let go and hold on, and that nothing is as easy--or as difficult--as it seems.
Critically acclaimed author and National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr delivers a heart-wrenching story, told from dual perspectives, about the many roads that can lead us home.
Have you read this? I haven't. And it eats away at me every time I hear about it! Just look at the cover. The cover alone looks amazing. But after reading the blurb? UGH. MY LIFE. Now you want it, too, don't you? It's so original and sounds gut-wrenchingly wonderful. I wanted it since I first heard about it. So yet again, I ask myself: WHY DO I NOT OWN THIS? Oh... that's right... because I'm a broke college student. Yay!
What's on your wishlist this week?
