Synopsis
Joy, an eleven-year-old often called "Bruiser" by her dad, isn't as tough as she appears.
With her dad gone and her mom falling into depression, the responsibility of managing the household and caring for her younger brother, Ian, falls on her small shoulders. She struggles with the reality of wearing old clothes that no longer fit and constantly dealing with Ian's hunger. Joy lives in fear that the school counselor might contact Child Protective Services due to their situation.
One day, a baby bird falls from its nest, reminding Joy of her dad's warning, "You don't know your own strength." Desperate for help, Joy strikes a deal with their quirky neighbor, Ezzie, known as the "Ark Lady." Through this new relationship, Joy, Ian, and her friend embark on a journey to restore the garden. In the process, they discover the concept of "rewilding," which brings unexpected beauty and healing. This experience leads Joy to question her father's views, opening her eyes to new possibilities and strengths within herself.
