Finding Me

March 15, 2015
While sorting through her late father's effects, Kelli Huddleston makes an earth-shattering discovery that reveals that everything she has believed about the fate of her mother and siblings is part of an elaborate lie. Since she can no longer ask her father to provide the answers she so desperately needs, she sets out to find the truth on her own. When it seems as though Kelli actually does have a living mother and siblings who don't know that she is alive, she heads down to Tennessee to determine who she really is, keeping her identity secret. But as she finds herself becoming part of the community, she struggles with whether she should reveal herself or not. Doing so could create great turmoil, but not knowing the only family she has left would eat away at her forever. Inspirational women's fiction author Cushman (Chasing Hope, 2013) tells a deeply moving story of painful revelation and hard-won redemption steeped in small-town, southern charm, a tale full of heart and hope for all who have ever wished to feel that theytruly belong.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
