Willow Chance is a twelve-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents, but that hasn't kept her from leading a quietly happy life . . . until now. When hit by tragedy Willow has to reach out to new friends and create a new family. This is a beautiful story about love, loss and how unexpected friendships can come about in the darkest of times and help steer the path back to happiness.
