She has lived in foster homes so many times that she can't even remember them all. Hollis wants to remain with Josie, an endearing and eccentric old artist, when she is assigned to her. But Josie's forgetfulness is becoming worse every day. Social Services will take Hollis away and place Josie in a home if they find out. Hollis Woods, nevertheless, won't allow anybody to take them apart. She's already broken out of the system, and she's bringing Josie along for the ride. Nevertheless, Hollis dreams about the previous summer spent with the Regans, preserving every memorable moment in photographs she won't soon forget, even as she makes preparations for her future with Josie. Patricia Reilly Giff masterfully conveys the need for a place where one fits in this endearing tale that emphasizes the value of creative vision, inventiveness, and, most importantly, family.
