(4) 4-6 Recently abandoned, ten-year-old Willow gathers up her little brother Twig and heads to Ontario to live with their long lost grandmother. Adjusting to a new and loving family takes some getting used to, as memories of a drugged mother and abusive adults haunt Willow. Although the book is overburdened with tragic events, Little perceptively explores an adult world of drugs, relationships, and love through the eyes of a child.
