Pictures of Hollis Woods
by Patricia Reilly Giff
Abandoned at birth, the twelve-year-old Hollis Woods has lived in about a half dozen homes. As she stays with an elderly artist who needs her, she reflects on her previous foster family, and the events that keep her from accepting them. Through her drawings, Hollis makes an emotional journey as she pursues her dream of finding a home where she belongs.
We look forward to all your responses, connections, and comments on these books.
Join us for another enjoyable HNET Book Club Meeting!
