"Finding Harmony" is a Red Maple 2026 nominee. This is the story of twelve-year-old Harmony, whose mom's struggles with addiction cause Harmony to spend time in foster care. Even though Harmony is more like the parent in her relationship with her mom, she wants nothing more than to be back with her mom. When the court grants her return to her mother, things are off to a rough start and only get more challenging. Harmony struggles with her situation, but believes she has to support her mom. When things get to a breaking point, Harmony has a very difficult decision to make. Will she continue to put her mom first and keep living a life that puts her last or will Harmony finally put her own needs first? This book begins with an unrealistic court scene, but becomes more realistic and the reader really wants to know what will happen with Harmony. It's a story of family, friendship, and overcoming challenges. I recommend this book to fans of Eric Walter and fans of realistic fiction.
