Description

Myron is a member of the town's notorious criminal family. Soosie tried to kill her sister. Adam was thrown away by his family. The only thing they have in common is they are all wards of the state currently housed in a group home, and they are all seventeen. When they no longer qualify for the state's protection at eighteen, they will be dumped out of the system, regardless of where they might end up. To provide a small handhold when they are on their own; the trio is assigned to work at a geriatric care center. There they meet another group teetering on an uncertain future. Can young and old reach across the generational gap to pull each other to safety?

Reviews

"A heart-warming tale of intergenerational bonding. When three teens trying to outrun their troubled pasts begin working at a care center for the elderly, they learn life-changing lessons, lower their defenses, and make life-long friendships. A touching and uplifting story." --Melissa Eskue Ousley, author of Pitcher Plant and Sunset Empire
