February's title is the poignant family drama Searching for Sylvie Lee by Jean Kwok.  From Amazon.com:

Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older daughter of the Lee family, flies to the Netherlands for one final visit with her dying grandmother—and then vanishes.  Amy, the sheltered baby of the Lee family, is too young to remember a time when her parents were newly immigrated and too poor to keep Sylvie. . . Sylvie was raised by a distant relative . . . and didn't rejoin her family in America until age nine.  Timid and shy, Amy has always looked up to her sister, the fierce and fearless protector who showered her with unconditional love.  But what happened to Sylie?  Amy and her parents are distraught and desperate for answers.

New faces and voices are always welcome.
