SOLVED. The girl goes to a great foster home but has to leave because a man tries to kill her and the foster mom has a heart condition [s]

[Kari]

For the life of me I cannot remember the name of this book. This girl goes in the foster care system and one of the places she ends up is in a home with a bunch of different girls. I remember that there are twins that she makes friends with and one of the twin dies in a fire I think. Then she is set to a good foster home, the Foster parents are awesome but the mom has a heart condition. A man breaks in the hose and tries to kill the girl and the mom finds her and almost dies from the heart issue. I believe that they don't keep her after that. I want to reread the book but can't remember what it is called please help if you can it is totally driving me crazy.

Sounds a lot like the childhood of Laura from Dean Koontz's

She's sent to an orphanage at around 12, meets twins Thelma & Ruth. Eventually finds a good foster family, but a stalker from the orphanage breaks in. Foster mother dies from heart attack. She's sent back to the orphanage, then moved to another one. Finds out that Ruth died in a fire at the old orphanage. The book follows her into adulthood and there are many appearances by a mysterious blond stranger who saves her life. He's a (view spoiler)[time traveler from Nazi Germany. He'd been impressed by her spirit in one of his trips to the future. She was a quadriplegic poet. But no matter how many times he saves her, she keeps ending up in danger/crippled because time tries to reassert it's previous path. (hide spoiler)]

Kari, was that your book or are you still looking?

The book is "Lightning," and it's by Dean Koontz. Readily available, I'm pretty sure.

Ooops. Someone already gave you the title. Didn't notice, apologies.
