Product Description:

A Large Format American Hardback.

Synopsis:

Johnson and his sister, Beebee, seem to be all alone in the world. Their mama has gone away many times before, but something tells them this time she won't be coming back. Then a social worker comes and takes them to stay with their Aunt Gracie, whom they've never met. Johnson and Beebee are sceptical - who is this Aunt Gracie, and why would she want to take care of them? But most of all they worry about their mama. What will happen to her? Will they ever see her again? Warily, though, the children come to trust Aunt Gracie. And in the process, they learn what family is all about. This heart-wrenching look at the issues surrounding foster care is a poignant lesson in trust, forgiveness and the true meaning of family.
