Gilly Hopkins, de once años, ha pasado por varios hogares de acogida. Lo único que ha aprendido es que hay que ser duro para sobrevivir. Hacer la vida difícil a los demás es la filosofía de Gilly. Pero entonces es alojada con Maime Trotter, una señora muy religiosa, y Maime es una gran dama en todos los sentidos. ¿Cómo se puede esperar que la gran Gilly Hopkins tolere a una madre de acogida ignorante, a un hermano de acogida raro o al hombre negro vecino amante de la poesía? Al principio Gilly los desprecia a todos, pero poco a poco se siente atraída por su círculo de amor. Poco a poco, un cambio empieza a producirse en Gilly. Ganadora del National Book Award for Children's Literature de 1979 y de muchos otros premios distinguidos, este Newbery Honor Book de 1979 está lleno de amor y compasión al contar la historia de una niña de 11 años que anhela una familia de verdad.
