Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff

Hollis Woods has run away from every foster home she’s ever known. Restless, artistic, and fiercely independent, she’s always searching for a place that feels like home — and for someone who sees her for who she truly is.

When she’s sent to live with Josie, an elderly artist losing her memory, Hollis finally begins to find peace. But as Josie’s forgetfulness grows, Hollis must face her past — and decide whether love is something she’s ready to keep, or once again let slip away.

Tender, deeply human, and beautifully written, Pictures of Hollis Woods is a story about belonging, second chances, and the courage to open one’s heart.
