An unexpected connection becomes the saving grace for two unlikely
friends in a heart-stirring novel about love, loss, and moving
forward by a New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling
author. Never knowing his parents, eleven-year-old Stewie Little
and his brother have been raised on a farm by their older sister.
Stewie steadfastly tends the chickens left by his beloved late
grandmother. And every day Stewie goes door to door selling fresh
eggs from his wagon-a routine with a surprise just around the
corner. It's his new customer, Marilyn. She's prickly and guarded,
yet comfortably familiar-she reminds the grieving Stewie so much of
the grandmother he misses more than he can express. Marilyn has a
reason for keeping her distance: a secret no one knows about. Her
survival tactic is to draw a line between herself and other
people-one that Stewie is determined to cross. As their visits
become more frequent, a complicated but deeply rooted relationship
grows. That's when Stewie discovers how much more there is to
Marilyn, to her past, and to challenges that become more pressing
each day. But whatever difficult times lie ahead, Stewie learns
that although he can't fix everything for Marilyn or himself, at
least he's no longer alone.
