ONE FOR THE MURPHYS by Lynda Mullaly Hunt

 When Carley "Murphy" Connors and her mom get hurt she is sent to foster care while her mother recovers. She hates it there at first, but as she grows on the Murphys she is not sure that she wants to go back to her mom. She struggles to make the decision, The Murphys or Mom...

She wants to go back with her mom but then she`d miss a real school with real friends. She kept asking herself where should I go?

  Carley was so sarcastic and hid her feelings at the begining of the book but as the story progresses she learns that it is ok to cry and that she is allowed to be herself.

  I relate to Carley because she always had a good laugh with her friend just like I do.
