Somewhere Out There, by Amy Hatvany (2016)
Jennifer was a 20-year-old woman with 2 children. Her family had kicked her out and she was living in her car. With basically no choice, she relinquished custody of her daughters. She believed that they would be adopted together into a loving family. Instead, the 6-month-old baby was quickly adopted, but the 4-year-old went through a number of foster homes until she aged out of the state system.
Thirty-five years later, both daughters independently seek information about their birth mother. This novel is told in the voices of each daughter and their birth mother. While not great literature, it was a compelling book that kept my interest.
