A heartwarming and poignant story that explores the bonds of family and the importance of knowing your own history, from the critically acclaimed author of My Life with the Liars and the ALA Notable Book Forever, or a Long, Long Time
Alma has everything she needs, except answers to her questions. Her mother won't tell her why her beloved stepfather, Adam, is suddenly gone this summer. Or about life in Portugal, where her parents met. Not even about her father, who Alma cannot find, no matter how many graveyards she searches with her best friend, Julia.
Then Alma's mother shocks her by moving them both to Lisbon so Alma can fall in love with the vibrant city where her father grew up. There she discovers she has more family than she could have imagined.
She hopes Portugal holds the answers she's been desperately searching for, but it turns out finding the truth may be more complicated than she, or her mother, bargained for.
What happens when every answer only leads to more questions?
- A Search for a Father: Alma is sure her father is buried somewhere nearby. But what if the truth isn't in any graveyard at all?
- A Mother-Daughter Story: Alma's mom won't answer any questions, and their surprise move to a new country only deepens the mystery and tests their bond.
- A New Life in Portugal: From the winding streets of Lisbon to a grandmother and cousin she never knew she had, Alma discovers a whole new side to her family and her history.
- Uncovering the Truth: A heartfelt middle grade book about one girl's search for where she comes from, perfect for readers who love a story full of twists and heart.
