It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents but that hasnt kept her from leading a quietly happy life...until now.Suddenly Willows world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash leaving her alone in a baffling world. The triumph of this book is that it is not a tragedy. This extraordinarily odd but extraordinarily endearing girl manages to push through her grief. Her journey to find a fascinatingly diverse and fully believable surrogate family is a joy and a revelation to read.
