Local Story

Kinkaid student finds a new sibling in Chinese Sister: Every page of Just Add One Chinese Sister (Boyd Mills Press, $16.95) has a dozen memories for Conor McCarthy. The picture book he wrote with his mother, Patricia McMahon, recounts the family's adoption of Claire. Conor, 17, celebrated his 12th birthday in China during the family's 16-day odyssey to make Guan Yu, who was living in a home for children, part of their world. Conor chose the name Claire for his new sister, who turns 8 on Wednesday.
