Award-winning and best-selling author Lois Lowry explores issues
surrounding adoption in this poignant novel.
Natalie Armstrong has everything: she's smart and beautiful, has the
perfect boyfriend, early acceptance to college, and a loving family. But
the summer she turns seventeen, she finally decides to ask some
unanswered questions: Who are her biological parents and why did they
give her up when she was born?
These questions take her on a journey from the deep woods of Maine to
the streets of New York City, from the pages of old phone books and a
tattered yearbook photo to the realization that she might actually meet
her biological mother face-to-face.
