Cora, her mom and her sister Adare are homeless and move in with a family friend. But the friend, a childhood friend of Cora’s mom, insists on doing more for the girls then their mother wants them to. Poor Cora just wants to stay in one place that feels like home. The relationship between Adare, who has a learning disability, and Cora was touching and realistic. It did seem strange though that Adare was still in a regular school setting even at age 10 and that no one had done anything more to help her. Even though the idea of the story was interesting, it just never seemed to find a good flow.
