To be orphaned is
devastating, but to be orphaned twice is unimaginable. For Willow Chance, this is her devastating
reality. This brilliant, yet eccentric
and endearing 12 year old, finds salvation in unlikely places when her world is
shattered. With the help of new friends
and a very unique surrogate family, Willow learns to build a new life.
I fell in love with
Willow when I read this book, and I immediately wanted to adopt her
myself. She is such a smart, resilient
and precocious child, that you can’t help but admire her.
This book will appeal
to anyone looking for a story about being an outsider, coping with loss, or
discovering what is really valuable and important in life.
