From the Publisher:
Inconsolable at being separated from her older brother, eight-year-old Paris is apprehensive about her new foster family but just as she learns to trust them, she faces a life-changing decision. A Coretta Scott King Honor Book. Reprint.Paris has just moved in with the Lincoln family, and she isnÂ't thrilled to be in yet another foster home. She has a tough time trusting people, and she misses her brother, whoÂ's been sent to a boysÂ' home. Over time, the Lincolns grow on Paris. But no matter how hard she tries to fit in, she canÂ't ignore the feeling that she never will, especially in a town thatÂ's mostly white while she is half black. It isnÂ't long before Paris has a big decision to make about where she truly belongs. |

Praise
"The characters around her are not all perfectly realized, but Paris's story is touching and worth a place in most collections. Given the dearth of success stories featuring foster children and biracial characters, this is all the more important."
