Then came Betty, a tiny and adorable five-year-old, sent from Poland by Adam's destitute brother. Bringing with her only a rubber doll's leg and her old-world charm, Betty became the little sister Donna never had -- and a threat to her father's love. During a long and painful rift, a dance of betrayal and hurt, Donna must look to her beloved polka music for the key to healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuzanne Strempek Shea, \u003c\/b\u003e winner of the 2000 New England Book Award for Fiction, is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eSelling the Lite of Heaven; Hoopi Shoopi Donna; Lily of the Valley;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAround Again;\u003c\/i\u003e and the memoirs \u003ci\u003eSongs from a Lead-Lined Room: Notes -- High and Low -- From My Journey Through Breast Cancer and Radiation;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShelf Life: Romance, Mystery, Drama, and Other Page-Turning Adventures from a Year in a Bookstore.\u003c\/i\u003e She lives in Bondsville, Massachusetts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 8.61 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51761724096800,"sku":"9780671535452","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/6dc779e30105d56f5d1c6fc30bab2290.webp?v=1780211427","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/hoopi-shoopi-donna-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
