Ruby, where is your mother?
Ruby knows that the game is up. For the past few months, she's been on her own in the yellow house, managing somehow, knowing that her mother will probably never return.
That's how she comes to live with Cora, the sister she hasn't seen in ten years, and Cora's husband Jamie, whose down-to-earth demeanor makes it hard for Ruby to believe he founded the most popular networking Web site around. A luxurious house, fancy private school, a new wardrobe, the promise of college and a future; it's a dream come true. So why is Ruby such a reluctant Cinderella, wary and defensive? And why is Nate, the genial boy next door with some secrets of his own, unable to accept the help that Ruby is just learning to give?

Mailed as part of the Paperback Surprise Bookbox #10. I hope you enjoy it!
Received in the BookBox surprise box. Plan to keep all three books and send the box on with three new ones (so new I haven't registered them on BC, but will.) Plan to journal each book after its read.
Realized I probably wasn't going to read this one, so passed to a friend to release in a lovely, new, bookbox in a neighborhood where she is pet sitting. Released in Casas Adobes, Tucson, AZ.
