Lily Easter has spent eleven of her twelve years at the Edgewood Foster Home. She has abandoned any hope of being adopted and becoming part of a real family. When five-year-old abused Angela is placed at the same Foster Home, the two girls develop a strong bond, and with the help of Lily's friend Ace, they share many dangers and adventures especially when their past meets up with their present. Lily's favorite teacher Rose Boston provides the girls with the love and direction they need and proves that "Finding Hope" is more than an expression, but a destination.
