\"On<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Books or surfing?
Sketching or rock-climbing?
Her choices are clear! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally on their way to their annual shore vacation, Quinn wonders why she prefers quiet to the rest of her family’s go-go-go activity style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She and Olly have always known they were donor-conceived – the red-headed 12 year old born by their Mama and her younger dark-haired brother by their Mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never really interested in their biological dad, until Mom tells them a website shows they have 16 other donor siblings (sixteen!) but they’ll have to wait till they’re older to contact them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it’s all that Quinn can think about – even after an accident sidelines her from all water activities (yay – no surfing!) and snobby rich Monika teases her (like every summer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can she get into that website and see more about their donor siblings?
Will she finally get to choose classes that she likes at the resort?
Why is Monika picking on her so much? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quinn has always fainted at the sight of blood, so a crisis only she can respond to truly tests what she can do in an emergency!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know folks who are donor conceived?
