Inhaltsangabe

Sixteen-year-old Dylan has never met her father. She knows that her parents were just teenagers themselves when she was born, but her mother doesn't like to talk about the past, and her father, Mark, has never responded to Dylan's attempts to contact him. As far as Dylan is concerned, her family is made up of her mother, Amanda; her recently adopted younger sister, Karma; and maybe even her best friend, Toni.

And then, out of the blue, a phone call: Mark will be in town for a few days and he wants to meet her. Amanda is clearly upset, but Dylan can't help being excited at the possibility of finally getting to know her father. But when she finds out why he has come—and what he wants from her—the answers fill her with still more questions. What makes someone family? And why has her mother been lying to her all these years?

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Which is easier-sharing your bone marrow or opening your heart?Sixteen-year-old Dylan has never met her father. The only thing she knows about him is his first name. As far as Dylan is concerned, her family is made up of her mother Amanda, her recently adopted younger sister Karma, and her best friend Toni. She is curious about her father, but for the most part, she has written him off. Or at least she thinks she has. When she finally has a chance to meet him, Dylan wants her questions answered. Why has he waited so long to meet her? What makes someone family? And why has her mother been lying to her all these years?

Mark pulled out his phone. "Her name's Casey. She's almost four." He looked at the image on the screen for a long moment, his mouth twisted into a crooked smile. "Your half sister."
I took the phone from him and stared at the photo. A round-faced girl, smiling, with short dark hair and big eyes. My stomach was full of something much squirmier than butterflies, and my throat was getting all tight.
"Must be hard to be away from her," Mom said.
"It is," Mark said. His voice sounded funny, like he really meant it. Like he could hardly stand to be away from his precious little girl.
I sucked on my bottom lip. He'd been away from me, his other daughter, for my whole life and he hadn't cared at all.
