A Brief Chapter in My Impossible Life by Dana Reinhardt was a great book that I enjoyed reading. Simone is looking for family and discovers that family is all around her.
Simone has always know that she is adopted, she even knows her mother's name. But why all of a sudden are her parents pushing her biological mother on her? She doesn't want to meet her----it drudges up all those emotions, but why are her parents so insistent? "All this meeting your parent pressure" is surrounded by all the big high school pressures; SATs, grades, getting a boyfriend , sex, and of course, your best friend who is dating a skank who you know is going to break her heart.
Simone learns the truth about her biological mother and agrees to meet her, which does drudge up all those emotions and questions. Who is Simone and what truly is a family?
I would highly recommend this book for high school students.
