About the Book

Riley knew Grandma was dead because she was smiling, Grandma never smiled when she was alive…

A new middle grade novel by Jacci Turner, author of The Birthright Series, Bending Willow takes readers on a journey in search of a dad.  The story: When Riley discovers her grandmother dead one morning, she knows her world is about to collapse.  She’s been here before. After her mom and stepdad died in a car accident, she and her little sister Mia had been sent to live in a shelter until Grandma finally took them in. They were not going back to that shelter. Not this time.

Determined to find the father she knows only by an address on an envelope marked “Return to Sender,” Riley and Mia take off on an adventurous journey with so many twists and turns Riley begins to doubt they’ll ever find a real home. She ignores the question that keeps popping into her mind–if they do somehow find her father, will he even want them? Or will he send them back to the shelter?
