April 4, 2019, Toronto - Fifteen-year-old Lucky loves her grandparents. True, her grandmother forgets things. like turning off the stove, or Lucky's name. But her grandfather takes such good care of them that Lucky doesn't realize how bad things are--until she loses her grandfather and is left caring for her grandmother on her own. When her grandma sets the kitchen on fire, Lucky can't hide what's happening any longer, and she is sent into foster care. She quickly learns that some foster families are okay. Some aren't. And some really, really aren't.
But none of these places is home. Praise for Melanie Florence's previous books: Stolen Words : "Unforgettable" - Kirkus Reviews Starred Review He Who Dreams : "Melanie Florence manages.to portray a realistic portrait of a young man trying to figure out what motivates him and where he wants to go while giving his story room to tell itself rather than trying to direct from the keyboard. Well done." - Resource Links.
