Finally, a book that I just really enjoyed. Perfect story telling.
Takes place in 1970's, two sisters pretty much on their own as their mom (which had signs of bi-polar, but was not diagnosed in the book) kept taking off and abandoning her girls to care for themselves. The girls were 12 and 14. The girls took a greyhound all the way from California to Virginia to live with their Uncle leaving a note behind for their mom, just in case she showed up later.
The story really takes off once they move in with their reclusive uncle. He cares for them the best he can while the girls do the rest. They are faced with many challenges and trials and find comfort in each other.
I just really enjoyed this book. It was a fast read, really nothing special, but like I said, nice story-telling.
