One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
After being removed from her mother’s care, Carley is placed with the Murphys, a warm and supportive foster family. At first, she keeps her guard up and struggles to trust their kindness. As she slowly begins to feel safe and cared for, Carley starts to believe she might finally belong. When her mother wants her back, Carley must face a difficult decision about love, loyalty, and what family truly means.
