One young woman\u2019s journey to find her place in the world as the carefully separated strands of her life \u2014 family, money, school, and love \u2014 begin to overlap and tangle.  <\/b>
\n All sixteen-year-old Izzy Crawford wants is to feel like she really belongs somewhere. Her father, a marine, died in Iraq six years ago, and Izzy\u2019s moved to a new town nearly every year since, far from the help of her extended family in North Carolina and Puerto Rico. When Izzy\u2019s hardworking mom moves their small family to Virginia, all her dreams start clicking into place. She likes her new school\u2014even if Izzy is careful to keep her scholarship-student status hidden from her well-to-do classmates and her new athletic and popular boyfriend. And best of all: Izzy\u2019s family has been selected by Habitat for Humanity to build and move into a brand-new house. Izzy is this close <\/i>to the community and permanence she\u2019s been searching for, until all the secret pieces of her life begin to collide.
\nHow to Build a Heart<\/i> is the story of Izzy\u2019s journey to find her place in the world and her discovery that the choices we make and the people we love ultimately define us and bring us home.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
