About this book
A telephone call interrupts Polly's happy conversation and sends her to the hospital, where an injured visitor has brought a keepsake from her mother. The small rosewood box holds a photograph and the promise of news about relatives she has never known. For Polly, the discovery brings excitement and longing; for Dr. Dudley and his wife, who have made her their own, it raises fears about the claims another family might make.
Emma C. Dowd's children's novel follows these questions of belonging through conversations, visits and family disagreements. Uncle Maurice offers Polly a life in New York with lavish parties, fine clothes and a pony, while she insists on her attachment to the Dudleys. Her quick changes from delight to distress give the family story its emotional movement.
