Set in the 1931 Depression era in the Grand Rapids area, we follow 12 year old Kate to discover what she will do to bring her 5 year old brother, Ben, home. This is dedicated to my daughter, Amanda, and son, Justin, as it is based upon their mutual love and loyalty. It is a story of stubborn sibling love.
