Sisters in the Wind by Angeline Boulley

Active CASA volunteers, staff, and board members are invited to join PA CASA’s Statewide Book Club, Common Ground. This name reflects our shared commitment to thoughtful dialogue, deeper understanding, and connection across our network.

We are excited to announce our next selection, Sisters in the Wind by Angeline Boulley.

This Young Adult (YA) novel follows 18-year-old Lucy Smith, a young woman who has spent much of her life in foster care. When Lucy learns that there may be more to her family history and identity, she sets out to uncover the truth. Through Lucy’s story, the author explores the experiences of a young person navigating the foster care system and the complex relationships among children, families, caregivers, and the systems intended to support them.

This book will provide us with the opportunity to think about the voice of the child, their connections to family and culture, and the role trusted adults can play in a young person’s life.

A few things to know before you read:

• While Sisters in the Wind is written for a young adult audience, its themes are relevant to the work you all do as volunteer advocates. The story offers an opportunity to experience the child welfare system from a young person’s perspective.
• While this book is connected to her two other novels, it can be read and enjoyed completely on its own!

It's easy to join!
