About this title

Synopsis

From the author of The Night We Said Yes comes a fun and heartfelt YA contemporary tale. When Maude decides to search for information about her birth mother, she finds out more than she expected. Perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins and Susane Colasanti.

Family. It’s always been a loaded word for Maude, whose birth mother died after giving her up for adoption. With her best friend, Treena, in college in the same town where her birth mother grew up, Maude decides to visit and explore her past. But when Maude arrives, she quickly discovers that Treena doesn’t seem to have time for her—or for helping with her search. Enter Bennett, a cute guy who lives in Treena’s dorm. He understands Maude’s need to find her mother. And as Bennett helps Maude, she starts to realize that her mother’s past doesn’t have to define her own future.

With her best friend drifting away and a cute new boy helping her dig up family secrets, what will Maude find when she puts her own life in focus?

• Best Friends: Maude expects to team up with her best friend Treena, but finds her lost in a new college life of parties and boys, leaving Maude to search alone.
• Sweet YA Romance: Enter Bennett, the cute, nerdy boy from the dorms who understands her quest and might just help her find more than just answers about her past.
• College Road Trip: A trip to Tallahassee and Florida State University becomes a journey into her mother's mysterious history, guided by old yearbooks and forgotten friends.
• Family Secrets: The deeper Maude digs, the more she learns that the idealized mother she imagined might not be the real story at all.
