One for the MurphysOne for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Carley is used to her life with her fun loving mother, though her clothes may come from the dumpster behind the Goodwill store and her meals may not be what other people would consider great meals. When she and her mother end up in the hospital as a result of mom's boyfriend's actions, Carley must go to a foster family because her injuries require much less hospital time than her mother's. The Murphy family has a mom, dad, and three kids. Carley has trouble fitting in to this "normal" family's lifestyle, where the mom makes lunch for the kids and takes her shopping at the mall for clothes. When Carley starts fitting in with her foster family, she must deal with the guilt that she feels for betraying her mom. Carley must decide what her life is supposed to be after experiencing two very different worlds.
