(4) 4-6 While grieving the death of her adoptive mother, Ellen searches for and finds her birth mother, a lawyer who eventually becomes her father's new love. A number of plot lines are woven together here, some not altogether believably. This fourth book about Ellen is most successful when directly exploring the different characters' emotions.
