In this sequel to Kaye Gibbons's beloved classic Ellen Foster, Ellen, now fifteen, is settled into a permanent home with a new mother. Strengthened by adversity and blessed with enough intelligence to design a salvation for herself, she still feels ill at ease. But while she holds fast to the shreds of her childhood she begins to negotiate her way into a larger world. With a singular mix of perspicacity, naïveté, and compassion, Ellen draws us into her life and makes us fall in love with her all over again. Kaye Gibbons is the author of seven bestselling novels. Her first novel, Ellen Foster, was awarded the Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and a special citation from the Ernest Hemingway Foundation. That novel, as well as A Virtuous Woman, was chosen for Oprah's Book Club. She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. Praise for The Life All Around Me by Ellen Foster "The pleasure for fans will be in Ellen's idiosyncratic worldview and signature syntax.... Even as good guys falter, readers can trust that all will be right in the end in this extended curtain call for a fondly remembered character." —Publishers Weekly "Ellen is still a remarkable creation, and her narrative voice, while it has matured and grown more sophisticated, remains compelling and unique." —Booklist
