Description
Margaret is ten years old and overjoyed to be going home after spending two years at boarding school. But when she finally sees her family, her mother doesn't recognize her and shouts, "Not my daughter!" This is not the welcome Margaret had hoped for. She has forgotten the language of her people and struggles to eat her mother's food. Margaret isn't even allowed to play with her friend Agnes because people think she looks too much like the hated foreigners. She has become a stranger among her own people.
In this extraordinary second book, Margaret paints a portrait of her difficult journey to find her place and reconcile her old self with her new one.
