Description

Three teenagers—biological siblings separated by adoption and foster care—are pulled into each other’s lives just as they’re trying to figure out who they are and what “family” really means. As Grace searches for the roots she never knew, Maya challenges the new connections with blunt honesty and restless questions, and Joaquin retreats into silence, convinced that secrets are the only protection left. Interweaving their perspectives, the story explores belonging, identity, and the complicated ways love can both heal and hurt. With Robin Benway’s sharp, emotionally intelligent YA voice, this novel tackles adoption, teen pregnancy, and foster care with warmth, honesty, and momentum—offering a moving look at how family is built, not just found.
