One for the Murphys
by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
After a vicious attack by her stepfather, twelve-year-old Carley is placed into foster care. Life with the Murphy family couldn't be more different than living with her fun-loving mother and short-tempered stepfather. Feeling abandoned and betrayed her mother, Carley initially resists the patient attempts of Mrs. Murphy to help her recover from the emotional pains of being betrayed by her mother. Although Carley slowly begins to accept the Murphys, her mother's return into her life threatens to take her away from the stable, loving family she has come to think of as her own.
One for the Murphys is a beautiful story that brought out a variety of emotions in me as I read it! I read this book in one day, unable to put it down. I highly recommend this book for fans of realistic fiction.
