Patricia Reilly Giff's pictures of hollis woods

Author's Note: I wrote this retelling piece about Patricia Reilly Giff's drama, picture of hollis woods




All a foster child wants is to find a home. In Pictures of Hollis Woods, the main character is an orphan and has been paired with many unsuccessful foster families.  She finally finds someone that she wants to stay with, but a problem surfaces -- her guardian is losing her mind.  With reoccurring flashbacks of a past family and her new life falling apart, she starts questioning her decisions.  In the end, she learns that doing what's right can lead her to her ultimate goal -- finding a family.
