Twelve-year-old Carley uses humor and street smarts to keep her emotional walls high and thick. -- Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming Winner of the Tassy Walden Award for New Voice in Children\'s Literature.
She is a character not to be missed or forgotten.
From the first page, I was drawn into Carley\'s story.
Hunt\'s writing is fearless and One For The Murphys is a story that is at once compassionate, thought-provoking and beautifully told.
She\'s not really a Murphy, but the gifts they\'ve given her have opened up a new future.
Despite her resistance, the Murphys eventually show her what it feels like to belong--until her mother wants her back and Carley has to decide where and how to live.
This loving, bustling family shows Carley the stable family life she never thought existed, and she feels like an alien in their cookie-cutter-perfect household.
But the day she becomes a foster child, and moves in with the Murphys, she\'s blindsided.
