A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life

by Dana Reinhardt

A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Simones starting her junior year in high school. Her moms a lawyer for the ACLU, her dads a political cartoonist, so shes grown up standing outside the organic food coop asking people to sign petitions for worthy causes. Shes got a terrific younger brother and amazing friends. And shes got a secret crush on a really smart and funny guy–who spends all of his time with another girl.

Then her birth mother contacts her. Simones always known she was adopted, but she never wanted to know anything about it. Shes happy with her family just as it is, thank you.

She learns who her birth mother was–a 16-year-old girl named Rivka. Who is Rivka? Why has she contacted Simone? Why now? The answers lead Simone to deeper feelings of anguish and love than she has ever known, and to question everything she once took for granted about faith, life, the afterlife, and what it means to be a daughter.
