"A Ghost saved twelve-year-old Maddie's
life when she was an infant, her Granny Lane claims, so Maddie
must always remember that she is special. But it's hard to feel
special when you've spent your life being shuttled from one foster
home to another. And now that she's at the East Tennessee Children's
Home, Maddie feels, well, less than ordinary. Six-year-old Ricky
Ray, who came to the Home after his parents failed to come back
from a party, thinks Maddie's the cat's meow. But what does a
little boy like that know?"
"Maddie can't stop looking for a place
to call home or for people who feel like home. She even makes
a "book of houses," where she glues pictures of places
in which she yearns to live. Then one day, a new girl, Murphy,
shows up at the Home armed with tales about exotic travels, being
able to fly, and boys who recite poetry to wild horses. Maddie
is enchanted ... Maybe , just maybe, she's found some one who
feels like home and she lets her guard down. She shows Murphy
her beloved scrapbook, never anticipating that this one gester
will challenge her very ideas of what home, and family, are all
about."
