of
American history. Beautiful.”
Seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that a community-
service position helping an elderly widow clean out her attic
is the only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall. But as Molly
helps Vivian sort through her keepsakes and possessions,
she discovers that she and Vivian aren’t as different as they
appear. A Penobscot Indian who has spent her youth in and
out of foster homes, Molly is also an outsider being raised by
strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the
past.
