Red has been in foster care for about 3 years. Her mom is in prison and her grandmother died of cancer. Her placements have been terrible so far but her latest - with Celine and Jackson - finally feels like home. She helps with their petting zoo, she has friends, and she is growing to love them. When her mom gets out early though, Red is hopeful that they will soon be reunited, especially in light of Celine's cancer that is freaking her out. Can her mom truly keep things together so they can live together again?
This was a very touching story and one that, unfortunately, too many of my students will relate to.
