Description

Growing up in foster care, Muir has lived in many houses. And if she's learned one thing, it is to pack light: carry only what fits in a suitcase.

Toothbrush? Yes. Socks? Yes. Emotional attachment to friends? Foster families? A boyfriend? Nope! There's no room for any additional baggage.

Muir has just one year left before she ages out of the system. One year before she's free. One year to avoid anything — or anyone — that could get in her way.

Then she meets Francine. And Kira. And Sean.

And everything changes.

For readers of Robin Benway's Far from the Tree, a powerful and heartwarming look at a teen girl about to age out of the foster care system.
