If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch
I didn't want to put this one down. I was so intrigued by the story.
This is about Carey. She grew up in the Hundred Acre Woods, but it is not the same as where Pooh and Tigger live. She is fourteen and she lives in the woods with her little sister, Jenessa. They have a camper, but no electricity or running water. Their mother leaves them for weeks at a time, and Nessa has selective mutism.
One day, a couple find them in the woods, and it turns out to be Carey's father. Apparently, her mother kidnapped Carey from her father some ten years before. He rescues the girls and takes them home. Carey finds it difficult to find comfort, but this is because she has a secret that preys on her mind. Finally, she makes peace with the past so she can accept her present/future.
