Theo and her young, irresponsible mother seem trapped forever in their
miserable, poverty-stricken life ... but Theo can't stop dreaming of
belonging to a "real" family. When she is mysteriously adopted by the
large, warm Kaldor family, her dream seems to be coming true. But as
time passes, the magic of Theo's new life begins to fade, and soon she
finds herself back with her mother. Were the Kaldors real or just a
dream? Who is the shadowy figure who haunts Theo's thoughts? And, most
importantly, will Theo ever be able to find a real home with a family
she can truly call her own?
