The Family Nobody Wanted
Helen Doss
@JamieFord @pronounced_ing Would I have heard of it had I not read THE FAMILY NOBODY WANTED by Helen Doss (which kick-started my desire to adopt kids) back when I was eleven? Probably not. The internment wasn't taught in school; no one mentioned it. Can't remember any other book that covered it.

Cody Luke Davis's brilliant HOUSE OF A THOUSAND LIES is some of the best writing I've seen in a debut novel - knocked my socks off. To read it, you can order it from your favorite store or ask your library to order it. @CLDauthor https://t.co/TGQkiWDsfL
