One For The Murphys

A moving  novel about a foster child learning to open her heart to a family’s love.

This loving, bustling family shows Carley the stable family life she never thought existed, and she feels like an alien in their cookie-cutter-perfect household. Despite her resistance, the Murphys eventually show her what it feels like to belong–until her mother wants her back and Carley has to decide where and how to live.

Lots of mysterious things are indeed burried under that lot with secrets and stories and questions. 


For instance an old doll's head... Who would bury just a doll's head? What happened to the rest of the body? And there's a glass jar with a mysterious note inside. What does the note mean? What about a old stone. Is it a wishing stone? Someone on Orange Street sure thinks so.
