Growing up in Las Vegas with her fun, loving mother, she's learned to be tough. But she never expected a betrayal that would land her in foster care. When she's placed with the Murphys, a lively family with three boys, she's blindsided. Do happy families really exist? Carley knows she could never belong in their world, so she keeps her distance. But before she knows it, Carley is protecting the boys from a neighborhood bully and even teaching Daniel, the older boy of the three, how to play basketball. Then, just when she's feeling like she could truly be one of the Murphys, news that her mother is feeling better and wants Carley back, shakes Carley's world. Who will she want to live with? How will she find a way to love both the Murphys and her own mother?
