Where I'd Like to Be

The eagerly-awaited second novel by the Edgar Award-winning author of Dovey Coe.12-year old Maddie's Granny Lane has told her she must always remember that she is special, but it's hard to feel that way when you've spent your life being shuttled from one foster home to another. And now that she's at the East Tennessee Children's Home, she feels even less than ordinary. But Maddie can't stop looking for a home, or people who feel like home, and when a new girl, Murphy, shows up armed with wild tales and exotic trinkets, Maddie is enchanted...maybe, just maybe, she's found someone who feels like home. Letting down her guard, she shows Murphy a beloved scrapbook she's made of homes she'd love to live in, never anticipating that this one gesture will challenge her very ideas of what home, and family, are all about.
