Simone's starting her junior year in high school. Her mom's
a lawyer for the ACLU, her dad's a political cartoonist, so
she's grown up standing outside the organic food coop asking
people to sign petitions for worthy causes. She's got a
terrific younger brother and amazing friends. And she's got
a secret crush on a really smart and funny guy--who spends
all of his time with another girl. Then her birth mother contacts her. Simone's always known
she was adopted, but she never wanted to know anything about
it. She's happy with her family just as it is, thank you. She learns who her birth mother was--a 16-year-old girl
named Rivka. Who is Rivka? Why has she contacted Simone? Why
now? The answers lead Simone to deeper feelings of anguish
and love than she has ever known, and to question everything
she once took for granted about faith, life, the afterlife,
and what it means to be a daughter.
