In her debut middle grade novel--inspired by her family's
history--Christine Day tells the story of a girl who uncovers her
family's secrets--and finds her own Native American identity.
All her life, Edie has known that her mom was adopted by a white couple.
So, no matter how curious she might be about her Native American
heritage, Edie is sure her family doesn't have any answers.
Until the day when she and her friends discover a box hidden in the
attic--a box full of letters signed "Love, Edith," and photos of a woman
who looks just like her.
Suddenly, Edie has a flurry of new questions about this woman who shares
her name. Could she belong to the Native family that Edie never knew
about? But if her mom and dad have kept this secret from her all her
life, how can she trust them to tell her the truth now?
