Nine-year-old Carrie Parker and her mother, Libby, are making a fresh start in the small town of Hartsville, North Carolina, ready to put their turbulent past behind them. Violence has shattered their family and left Libby nearly unable to cope. And while Carrie once took comfort in her beloved sister, Emma, her mother has now forbidden even the mention of her name.When Carrie meets Ruth, Honor, and Cricket Chaplin, these three generations of warmhearted women seem to have the loving home Carrie has always dreamed of. But as Carrie and Cricket become fast friends, neither can escape the pull of their families' secrets—and uncovering the truth will transform the Chaplins and the Parkers forever.

Editorial Reviews
“Haunting, harrowing, and exquisitely told, Flock’s brilliant, bold novel is all about imagination, grief, and one stunning young narrator’s struggle to transcend an unimaginable past in order to carve out a future. Absolutely unforgettable.” —Caroline Leavitt, author of Pictures of You
“Flock writes a gripping tale of domestic discord. There are some difficult transitions for the reader, but Flock’s grief-stricken narrator sees the world through an imaginative perspective. The reader must ask hard questions about grief and loss and how much courage and daring we need to do the right thing.” —RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
