Twelve-year-old Larkin and her friend, Lalo, find a baby in a basket. The baby's unexpected arrival and her family's decision to keep Sophie until her mother's return helps the family deal with a recent, yet unspoken of, loss of their own. A wonderfully written book about the power of words, not just what is said but more importantly what is left unsaid.
