Adoption, identity, and the questions family can raise

Simone has always known she was adopted, but has been content not to investigate her origins. A call from Rivka changes that: Simone learns her birth mother was a teenager like her, opening up questions about the past and the meaning of her family ties. The story connects adoption and daughterhood with Simone’s questioning of faith and the afterlife, bringing personal identity and religious belief into the same family-centered narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in stories about adoption and family relationships.
  • Readers drawn to fiction that explores identity, faith, and the afterlife through a young person’s experience.

Book overview

You can tell what really makes Simone different just by looking at her: she doesn't resemble anyone in her family. She's adopted. She's always known it, but she's never wanted to know anything about where she came from. She's happy with her family just as it is, thank you.
Then one day, Rivka calls, and Simone learns who her mother was--a 16-year-old, just like Simone. Who is Rivka? What does she want? Why is she calling now, after all these years? The answers lead Simone to deeper feelings of anguish and love than she has ever known and prompt her to question everything she has taken for granted about faith, the afterlife, and what it means to be a daughter.
