Simoneâs starting her junior year in high school. Her momâs a lawyer for the ACLU, her dadâs a political cartoonist, so sheâs grown up standing outside the organic food coop asking people to sign petitions for worthy causes. Sheâs got a terrific younger brother and amazing friends. And sheâs got a secret crush on a really smart and funny guyâwho spends all of his time with another girl.
Then her birth mother contacts her. Simoneâs always known she was adopted, but she never wanted to know anything about it. Sheâs happy with her family just as it is, thank you.
She learns who her birth mother wasâa 16-year-old girl named Rivka. Who is Rivka? Why has she contacted Simone? Why now? The answers lead Simone to deeper feelings of anguish and love than she has ever known, and to question everything she once took for granted about faith, life, the afterlife, and what it means to be a daughter.
