(3) YA Liz McLane (The Secret of Me; Girl in the Mirror), now eighteen, is in NYC ("THE place to be a poet") attending NYU while searching for her birth mother. Through moving, authentic-feeling verse and journal entries, Kearney brings Liz's adoption story to a satisfying resolution. As the author discusses in an appended note, Liz's trilogy is based on her own experience as an adoptee.
