![]() "An outstanding first novel by an enormously talented writer. "A moving first novel… readers will become quickly absorbed." I recommend this book to high school girls because a lot of them can relate to the problems that Simone goes through. ![]() Wendy Lamb Books published this book in New York in 2006. Who is Rivka? Why has she contacted Simone? Why now? The answers lead Simone to deeper feelings of anguish and love than she has ever known, and to question everything she once took for granted about faith, life, the afterlife, and what it means to be a daughter. A Brief Chapter in my Impossible Life by Dana Reinhardt is about a young teenage girl who seems to have her whole life together. She learns who her birth mother was: a 16-year-old girl named Rivka. She's happy with her family just as it is, thank you. ![]() Simone's always known she was adopted, but she never wanted to know anything about it. And she's got a secret crush on a really smart and funny guy who spends all of his time with another girl. She's got a terrific younger brother and amazing friends. Her mom's a lawyer for the ACLU, her dad's a political cartoonist, so she's grown up standing outside the organic food coop asking people to sign petitions for worthyĬauses. ![]() Simone's starting her junior year in high school. ![]()
