Carey's mom, a bi-polar meth addict, kidnapped Carey and her younger sister. They've been living in a beat-up camper deep in the woods for ten years. Mom comes and goes and Carey does her best to feed, clothe, teach and protect Jenessa. As it turns out, there is a lot to protect Nessa from.....
One day authorities come and take them away. Carey and Jenessa are placed in foster care. Jenessa is selectively mute, but at 7 years old, she adapts quickly to her new home. It is Carey who finds it difficult to adjust as she tries to face the facts of her abandonment.
It is a gripping book. I wanted to bring Carey and Jenessa home myself.
