Uprooted
A story about family, belonging, and what it really means to be chosen - written for the kids who need to hear that home isn't something you have to earn.
Maggie Hartley has spent years learning not to get too attached. So has her little sister, Grace. But life with the Garcia family in the small town of Juniper Creek has slowly become something neither girl expected: home.
Then their uncle resurfaces - a man they barely remember, with a new wife and a plan to adopt them. He has every legal right to ask. He's family. But Maggie and Grace have been "family" with people before, and it didn't last.
Uprooted is the third book in the Juniper Creek Series, following sisters Maggie and Grace through the hardest question their story has asked yet: what do you do when the people who are supposed to want you most show up too late - or right on time?
Why families love the Juniper Creek series:
This is foster care and adoption written with real care - honest about loss and fear, but never without hope. Faith runs through every book as an anchor, not a lecture. The adults in these stories aren't perfect, but they show up, and they keep showing up, which is its own kind of grace. There's nothing here that will frighten a sensitive reader, but there's enough real feeling that kids who've experienced loss, instability, or family change will feel deeply seen.
Uprooted ties a bow on Maggie and Grace's adoption story - and plants the first seed of the next set of adventures for the Juniper Creek kids, for readers who'll want to stay in this world a while longer.
Perfect for fans of Anne of Avonlea and The Penderwicks - gentle, character-driven stories about the families we build and the ones that find us.
