Judy's note: "This book is also listed on the teen list; it is multi-layered and so evocative of the time.

 Judy's note: "This  first time author  has created a lyrical  magical, and elegant book that begins with a baby found floating down the river in a cello case. She searches for her mother, and is helped with great kindness.This is a book to read, and re-read."
