Bookroo's summary

Paris, a wary foster child, struggles to fit in with the Lincolns in a predominantly white town. Missing her brother and feeling out of place, she faces a pivotal choice about belonging and identity. Can she find a true home, or will her past keep her from embracing a new future?

From the publisher

A Coretta Scott King Honor Book Paris has just moved in with the Lincoln family, and she isn’t thrilled to be in yet another foster home. She has a tough time trusting people, and she misses her brother, who’s been sent to a boys’ home. Over time, the Lincolns grow on Paris. But no matter how hard she tries to fit in, she can’t ignore the feeling that she never will, especially in a town that’s mostly white while she is half black. It isn’t long before Paris has a big decision to make about where she truly belongs.
