Overview

The fourth book in the Cammie Turple series, following our plucky protagonist on an adventure to solve the mystery of her birth mother, from the author of Cammie Takes Flight and The Family Way. Cammie Turple is doing quite well, thank you. She's been attending the Halifax School for the Blind and made great friends there. She's home in rural Nova Scotia for the summer now and spending time with her cobbled-together family--sharp-tongued Aunt Millie (not really her aunt) and her best friend, Evelyn, in Tanner; and with Ed (unfortunately, not her father) and his wife, Miranda, in Sheppard Square. She should be happy she has so many people who like having her around. But there's still a question burning in her chest: Who is her real mother? Desperate for the truth, Cammie secretly writes to the woman who ran the Ideal Maternity Home, where Cammie was born. When the letter goes unanswered, Cammie and Evelyn embark on a dangerous journey to try to get to the bottom of Cammie's family mystery. Along the way they uncover an impossibly long chain of secrets that leads them to the biggest surprise of their lives. In this exciting fourth book in the Cammie Turple series, celebrated author Laura Best combines thrilling twists, quick humour, and heart-rending tenderness to create an ending even Cammie might be happy with.
