Imagine that you are twelve years old, living in Canada in the years just after World War II. Your thirteen-year-old brother, who is also your best friend, has been paralyzed after a bout with polio. Now he is bedridden, and he has lost the will to live. Or, imagine that you are a teenage girl in the 1990s who has been passed from foster home to foster home for the first fifteen years of your life. You feel that you have never been loved, and you do not want to love anyone. Just when you determine to leave your foster family in rural Canada to strike out on your own, you begin to grow close to this family. To make matters even more confusing, a woman shows up who thinks that she is your birth mother. Author Julie Johnston has put herself and her readers into the shoes of both of these characters, Keely in Hero of Lesser Causes and Sara in Adam and Eve and Pinch-Me.
