A Brief chapter in My Impossible Life is about a girl called Simone who is starting her junior year in high school. Her mom's a lawyer for the ACLU, her dad's a political cartoonist, so she's grown up standing outside whatever the weather is asking people to sign petitions for worthy causes. She's got a terrific younger brother and amazing friends. And she's got a secret crush on a really smart and funny guy who spends all of his time with another girl.Then her birth mother contacts her. Simone's always known she was adopted, but she never wanted to know anything about it. She's happy with her family just as it is. She learns her birth mother was a 16-year-old girl named Rivka. Who is Rivka? Why has she contacted Simone? Why now? Simone goes on a deep journey finding out who she is and where she came from while trying to keep life as normal as possible.
