Description
"Do you have to wear a black dress to go to a funeral?"
Kena Wangera, eight years old, asks the question with an innocence as deep as the heartache that drives her. Kena is on a desperate mission. Her best friend Adam is dead, killed by a drunk driver. The person responsible: Kena's own mother, Alice.
As Christmas approaches, Kena sneaks away from her foster home on a perilous journey to Adam's memorial in upstate New York. She's determined to beg Adam's mother to save Alice from a prison sentence.
What do you do when a child clutching her last shred of hope - a child your son loved like a little sister - appears on your doorstep asking for help? Asking you to save the person who took everything from you? Asking you to help her get home?
This is a story about the homes we love, the ones we lose, and the faith it takes to build new ones from the wreckage. It's about resilience and the transformative power of love to bridge the deepest divides.
