Heaven

Marley Carroll's life turns upside-down the day a letter arrives requesting her baptismal record from a pastor in Alabama whose church has burned. For the first time Marley realizes that the people who have raised her are really her aunt and uncle and her father is Uncle Jack. Anger is the first emotion she feels: anger that no one ever told her about her real mother and father, anger that she's been deluded all these years. Gradually reason returns and she begins to sort out what and who make a family. As she looks around her neighborhood, the pluses pile up from her best friend Shoogy to the owner of the general store, and finally to her aunt and uncle and the wonderful parenting job they've done along with the love they have for her. Maybe it really is heaven to live in Heaven.
