Paula Garner

Jules never knew her father, and her ex-addict mother has always been more interested in artistic endeavors than in bonding with her only daughter. Her life and future look as flat and unchanging as her small Illinois town. A simple quest to find a baby picture for the senior yearbook leads to the discovery that for most of the first two years of her life, Jules lived in foster care. As Jules sets out to learn the truth about her past, what she finds is a family who loved her as their own and hoped to adopt her. Even a now-adult foster brother is overjoyed to see his sister again. When the divide between Jules and her biological mother widens, Jules finds herself on the brink of losing everything
