|aWhen her parents separate and she and her siblings move with their mother from the northwest coast to a midwest prairie farmhouse, fourteen-year-old Zoe, miserably unhappy to be away from the ocean and her father, begins to develop a deep attachment to her new surroundings, when, after a shoplifting episode, she is assigned to work at a nature preserve
When fourteen-year-old Zoe is forced to leave her coastal home—and her father—and move into an old midwestern farmhouse her mother wants to turn into a bedand- breakfast, she is miserable. A shoplifting episode lands her in a work program at a local nature preserve, where she learns to appreciate the prairie and meets a boy who shares her love of wild things. “Permeated with themes of home, family, memory, and loss, The Blind Faith Hotel should appeal to fans of Han Nolan and Kimberly Willis Holt” (Kirkus Reviews).
