When we meet Carley she is being released from the hospital and finding herself in the care of a foster family. As a reader, we dont initially know how Carley got to be where she is, but through flashbacks in the story we are made aware of the horrors that Carley has had to endure.Carley has never known what a loving household is like. She hates herself for not hating this foster family. We watch her struggle as she comes to terms with herself and with the actions of her mother.One for the

I finished this book in one early morning, teary sitting. This book seemed to pull at every heartstring I have. I am a Mom first but a teacher in an inner city school second and in the many years I have taught, I have seen a lot. This book made me want to rush into my own children's rooms and hug them tight. It made me want to smile at every amazing foster parent I know for providing love, security and trust to the children in their care. And it reminded me that we all have hearts that have

An incredible book--touching, funny, tender and real. Can't wait to put this one into the hands of my students.

This book has made me stronger. I didn't really understand why I wasn't crying about the part when Carley described how Dennis hurt her and her mother helped him. It wasn't until later that I realized that I wasn't crying because Carley wasn't. I wanted to be as strong as Carley. When she did cry at the end, the tears that I was saving up started flowing because Carley was crying, and I realized that it was okay to cry. Carley was so brave throughout the whole book that I knew that Mrs. Murphy

It was a really good book on trying to figure out where you belong in life and to move on from what happened in the past. I would recommend it to anyone but warning you will cry.

This book was an easy heartfelt read. I wasn't prepared to get a snotty nose and a few tears at the end. Carley has had a horrible life with her mother and new husband and gets sent to foster care where she finds a loving family and a best friend. She is witty and sad and mad and kind and confused. I really liked all the characters in the story. I had happy hopes for her throughout the book. Would def recommend.

I started ONE FOR THE MURPHYS as a read-aloud with my 12-year-old daughter. We'd barely gotten started when I had to leave home for a few days; by the time I got home again she had finished it. ("I'm sorry, Mom. I just couldn't stop reading.") And now, after a heartbreaking and spirit-lifting single-sitting read over the Thanksgiving holiday (I couldn't stop reading either!), I've added the book to the very top of my gift-giving list for the holiday season. It's one of those books I wish I could
