Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML: NOW INCLUDING A BRAND-NEW EPILOGUE! There are some things you can't leave behind... In If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch, a broken-down camper hidden deep in a national forest is the only home fifteen year-old Carey can remember. The trees keep guard over her threadbare existence; the one bright spot is Carey's younger sister, Jenessa, who depends on Carey for her very survival. All they have is each other, as their mentally ill mother comes and goes with greater frequency. Until that one fateful day their mother disappears for good, and two strangers arrive. Suddenly, the girls are taken from the woods and thrust into a bright and perplexing new world of high school, clothes and boys. Now, Carey must face the truth of why her mother abducted her ten years ago, while haunted by a past that won't let her go... a dark past that hides many a secret, including the reason Jenessa hasn't spoken a word in over a year. Carey knows she must keep her sister close, and her secrets even closer, or risk watching her new life come crashing down. .… (meer)

Sisters Carey(14) and Janessa (6) live in the woods in a dilapidated camper with their drug-addicted, bi-polar mother, who has kidnapped them years ago from their custodial father. Their frequently-absent mother finally contacts social services to admit that she can no longer care for them and discloses their location. When the father and a social worker arrive at the camper, the conditions are far worse than they had imagined. The girls have no electricity, no running water and are living on canned beans. Carey is doing her best to care for Jessa, who has selective mutism. Carey is terrified when her father suddenly appears and their world changes dramatically when they live with his wife and stepdaughter. (

A harrowing tale, recommended by my school librarian, that is deeply compelling from the second page, just like it's reviewers have said. You will be so quickly drawn into Carrie's world, both the past and the present, so realistically scoped. The compartmentalization is a master craftsmanship, as are all the slow reveals that you figure out in the last half of the book about everyone. I definitely recommend it to others. (

Una caravana destartalada en lo más profundo de un bosque, donde no llega ningún camino, no es el lugar ideal para que crezcan dos niñas. Pero es el único hogar que Carey y Janessa conocen desde que su madre las ocultó allí. Según ella, porque corrían peligro. ¿De qué o de quién tienen que escapar? Carey, la mayor, nos cuenta con sus propias palabras su historia, un relato capaz de helar el corazón de quien lo lea.

Disturbing.
(not 'trying and falls short' but genuinely IS)
But hopeful too.

It takes a particular kind of book to truly disturb me.

But it's not without faults. (
