The name she gave me / Betty Culley.

Culley, Betty, (author.).

Summary:
Rynn has lived on a garlic farm in central Maine since she was adopted at six weeks old. She was born with a hole in her heart, and even though it was fixed long ago, she sometimes feels like it's still there when she wonders about her biological family. All Rynn knows about her birth mother is that she gave Rynn the name Scheherazade when she was born, and that she had - and kept - another daughter. Rynn's adoptive father is gentle and supportive, but her complicated relationship with her adoptive mother makes her feel like an outsider in the only family she's ever known. Rynn decides she can't wait any longer to know more about her birth family. Since she can't open her adoption records until she turns eighteen, Rynn takes matters into her own hands, enlisting the help of her friends. In this emotionally poignant novel in verse, Rynn's journey to find her family uncovers both beautiful and heartbreaking truths and explores how challenging, yet healing, family can be. -- Provided by bookflaps.
