In this YA novel, Malou, a mixed-race orphan, is on her own for the first time, trying to discover her parentsâ identities. - Orca Book Publishers
Malou has just turned sixteenâhardly old enough to be out in the world on her ownâand all she knows for sure is that sheâs of mixed race and that she was left at an orphanage as a newborn. When the orphanage burns to the ground, she finds out that she may have been born in a small town in Ontarioâs cottage country. Much to her surprise, Parry Sound turns out to have quite a few young brown faces, but Malou canât believe they might be related to her. After she finds work as a cleaner in the local hospital, an Aboriginal boy named Jimmy helps her find answers to her questions about her parents. The answers are as stunningâand life-changingâas anything Malou could have imagined back at the orphanage.
Part of the SECRETSâa series of seven linked novels that can be read in any order.
