Silver Bear

In a quiet New England town, two little girls forge a bond so fierce that no one remembers they aren't really sisters. Lucy and Dora share everything: secrets, adventures, and the winding lanes of their picturesque neighborhood. But their most treasured possession is the Silver Bear, a delicate necklace that becomes the symbol of their unbreakable friendship. When circumstances threaten to pull them apart, the girls must hold fast to what matters most. Brown writes with a tender precision that captures the entire emotional universe of childhood - the fierce loyalties, the small heartbreaks, and the way a single object can hold immense meaning. This is a book about what it means to choose your family, and to treasure the people who choose you back.
