It\u2019s one of the only things Rynn has from her. Now sixteen, Rynn and her adoptive parents live on a small garlic farm in central Maine. Rynn\u2019s father is kind and gentle but oblivious to Rynn\u2019s mother\u2019s temper and coldness toward their daughter.<br \/>\nRynn has longed to know her birth family for years. She can\u2019t legally open her adoption records until she turns eighteen, but that won\u2019t stop her from searching on her own. She finds out that though her birth mother has died, she has a younger sister\u2014who\u2019s in foster care two towns away. But if Rynn reconnects with her biological sister, it may drive her adoptive family apart for good.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2022-06-20T10:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Monday and welcome to my stop on the nerd blast for THE NAME SHE GAVE ME by Betty Culley!
