About this ebook

Now a major motion picture starring Alfre Woodard, Jessica Collins, John Heard, Jacinda Barrett, Cloris Leachman, and Talitha Bateman—in theaters October 2017! 

From acclaimed author Sarah Weeks comes a touching coming-of-age story about a young girl who goes on a cross-country journey to discover the truth about her parents, which the New York Times called "a remarkable novel." Perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead's When You Reach Me and Ali Benjamin's The Thing About Jellyfish.

She doesn't know when her birthday is or who her father is. In fact, everything about Heidi and her mentally disabled mother's past is a mystery. When a strange word in her mother's vocabulary begins to haunt her, Heidi sets out on a cross-country journey in search of the secrets of her past.

Far away from home, pieces of her puzzling history come together. But it isn't until she learns to accept not knowing that Heidi truly arrives.

I'm 28 years old, and I fell completely in love with this book. It spoke to my heart, activated my imagination, and made it nearly impossible to stop reading. There were so many unexpected turns, but it kept me intrigued, and wanting to know more, all the time. The story line is incredibly inspirational, and I will be reading it several several more times.

I read this back in 2007 in the sixth grade in my reading class. My class also got the privilege to write a question to the author Ms. Weeks and she was very nice. I read it almost every year until high school. Here I am, 20 years old, still in love with this book.
