While visiting her younger sister Mollie, Beth confronts painful
memories of the sudden death of her parents and the subsequent adoption
of the sisters by different families.
Publishers WeeklyEven more impressive than Sachs's
prodigious output is her ability to keep material fresh, relevant and
convincing. Readers are certain to empathize with her newest
protagonist, Molly, an 11-year-old orphan who resists confronting
truths about the past. Molly looks forward to seeing her older sister
Beth again after their eight-year separation, but when Beth arrives for
a visit with her wealthy adoptive mother, she seems to carry a chip on
her shoulder and is appallingly rude to Aunt Karen, Molly's guardian.
The reasons for Beth's deep-rooted anger do not become clear until the
novel's final pages, when family secrets begin to unravel during a
dinner party. Rather than focusing on the guilt of particular
characters, the author concentrates on relating their various responses
to unfortunate circumstances. As always, her writing is sensitive and
moving. Resolutions do not come easily; but by the end of the story
readers will sense that the expression of painful memories leads to
understanding and forgiveness. Ages 10-14.
