Synopsis "Match Found"

Charlie knows who cheers the loudest at her soccer games. She knows who loves her. She just doesn't know where her curls came from. Charlie is ten years old, adopted, biracial, and the only person in her family with hair like hers. Then a DNA kit comes back with a close match. A woman two hours away, with Charlie's exact curls, running a flower shop in a city that happens to share Charlie's real name. Charlie doesn't tell a soul. She tells one lie, packs her stuffed sloth and her birthday money, picks up the plant she grew herself from a seed, and catches a bus before sunrise. Charlie thinks she's going to get an answer. What she gets is an aunt whose hands know exactly what to do with her hair. A cousin who becomes a best friend by lunchtime. A biological father she can only find in old newspapers. And a hundred new questions where there used to be one. Some answers don't end a story. They begin one. Funny, tender, and full of people you'll wish you knew, Match Found is a story about curiosity, courage, and the surprising ways a family can grow without anyone losing their place. Inspired by a true story. Paulette Hill took an at-home DNA test her sister gave her. It led her to a family she had never met near Charlotte, North Carolina, where she knocked on a stranger's door and introduced herself as their DNA match. She brought a houseplant. Charlie came later. For readers ages 9 to 12, and for anyone who has ever looked at the people who love them and wondered, who do I look like?
