Summer job -- check. Hang with friends at the beach -- check. Keep looking after herself as she's been doing since her mom bailed to follow her bliss -- check. Or no check? After someone reports that Ritzy is living alone, a social worker shows up and puts her into foster care. That's surprise enough. Even more surprising? Ritzy has been in foster care before, as an infant, and the woman who cared for her then takes her in again. But maybe the greatest surprise of all for Ritzy is that living with her foster mother, Kristin, in Kristin's gorgeous house, isn't all that bad. And neither is the cute, friendly boy next door. If Ritzy's mom hadn't gotten her back all those years ago, this is the life she could have had. But is it the life she should have had? When Ritzy's old life catches up with her new one, she has some decisions to make. Can she plan for the worst, but still hope for the best? 521 1 $a Ages 13-17 650 0 $a Foster home care $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210526010502.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6576064BDE711EBA6FF6E734CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
