"When a young girl's parents decide to pursue a foster care license, she experiences both the joy and grief of building a family through fostering and adoption. First, she helps her dad prepare for a baby who only stays for a few days before reuniting with her grandma. Then, when a boy stays for over a year, she learns about the fun and frustration that comes with having a little brother. After he reunites with his first family, the young girl and her parents take a break from fostering to sift through the emotions of this bittersweet loss. Wondering if adoption might ever be part of their story, the family opens their home again. The young girl is excited to learn her family will host another girl who is the same age as she is. In the end, these sisters learn that family can include people who become a part of our lives in unpredictable ways-sometimes for a season and sometimes forever"-- Provided by publisher.
