Praise

“Hunt’s writing is fearless and One For The Murphys is a story that is at once compassionate, thought-provoking and beautifully told. From the first page, I was drawn into Carley’s story. She is a character not to be missed or forgotten.” —Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming

“Readers will be cheering her on.” —Booklist

“This is a beautiful book, filled with hope. You’ll cry and laugh along with Carley as she learns to lower her defenses enough to love–and, more surprisingly, be loved. It’s a story you’ll long remember.” —Patricia Reilly Giff, Newbery Honor-winning author of Pictures of Hollis Woods and Lily’s Crossing
