Finding Balance: The Finding Home Series, #8

By B. E. Baker

Gone. . . but not forgotten?

 

Amy loved everything about her mom: her smile, her smell, her gentle laugh. On the day her mom died, it felt as though the sun went dark. Her dad bought a house with wheels and they started moving, but no matter how many new places they went, the sun never came back out. 

 

At least, not until Mary showed up and handed Amy a box of Froot Loops. 

 

Amy loved Mary from the very first day—almost as much as her dad did.

Reviews for Finding Balance

[Gretchen · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved this little novella following Amy’s journey. You also get Luke and Mary. It’s so sweet to see her handling her bully and learning to see things from a different perspective. She’s a smart 2nd grader
