This adoption story for boys asks and answers the question central to all adoptions, Why? Blue Ridge memorializes this question for one family. Twelve-year old Denny, newly arrived in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia with his father, and coping with his mother's death as well as a new environment, discovers a friend in the woods. It demonstrates to the readership that while adoption usually is not the initial family building option of choice, sometimes it just happens, and as the result a new and different family is created.
