One True Friend (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780618609918)

Amir has finally landed in a good place. His new foster parents, the Smiths, are loving and kind, and he has been reunited with his youngest brother, whom the Smiths have raised since babyhood. Amir knows he should be happy, but he is uncomfortable around the Smiths, and his little brother doesn't even remember him. If only Amir could find the rest of the siblings he was separated from when his parents died, perhaps he would feel more at ease.

Luckily, he has someone he can open his heart to--his friend Doris, who lives in his old Bronx neighborhood. The two of them share all their feelings and concerns in frequent letters. But when Doris writes Amir that a friend has been experimenting with drugs, unpleasant memories rise to the surface of his mind.

In this long-awaited companion to The Gift-Giver and Yellow Bird and Me, Amir not only must find a way to come to terms with his family's past, but he must also determine where his true home is.
