Description
Four siblings, abandoned in a mall parking lot, must rely on each other to survive. Their mother has left them with little more than the clothes on their backs and a determination to make it to Great-aunt Cilla's house in Bridgeport.
The only constant is the promise they made to each other that "it's still true" - that they will keep moving forward, no matter what. But as they face the harsh realities of poverty and homelessness, Dicey begins to wonder if she'll ever find someone to trust, someone who can take them in and love them.
This powerful story of family, resilience, and hope is a testament to the enduring power of sibling bonds and the human spirit's capacity for survival against all odds.
