Grace searches for her biological family and finds 15-year-old Maya, a loud-mouthed brunette in a rich family of redheads, and Joaquin, who’s almost 18. After years of living with sketchy foster families, he’s finally with a loving and caring couple who want nothing more than to formally adopt him.
Who is Maya in far from the tree?
Maya is a sarcastic 15-year-old lesbian from an upper-class family. Her parents tried for 10 years to conceive before adopting, and they became pregnant shortly after bringing Maya home. Maya loves her supportive parents and slightly younger sister, Lauren.
How do grace Maya and Joaquin each respond to the idea of finding their birth mother?
When Grace asks if they would like to find their biological mother, both Maya and Joaquin refuse, feeling unwanted by her. Grace will not tell her siblings that she was pregnant, for fear that they may judge her for abandoning Peach.
