Excerpt FROM THE OPENING PAGES OF PHOEBE'S FAMILY... Mama loved to tell Phoebe stories about her family. On hot, sticky, summer nights they looked up at the stars. They sat barefoot, sipping their tall glasses of pink lemonade with colorful little umbrellas. Phoebe twirled her umbrella between her fingers and toes and listened to her mama speak. Mama's eyes grew large and her mouth stretched wide into a circle like a great big O. "Phoebe, see those stars? Each one has its own story of how it came to be, and so do you!" And she went on to tell Phoebe's story the story of how Phoebe was born into her family.
