When Runt's mother dies, he’s sent to live with his older sister
Helen, whom he hasn’t seen in years, not since she ran away.
Avoiding the dreary trailer he now shares with Helen and her creepy
boyfriend Cole, Runt spends his days rambling around his new town,
especially the local cemetery. There he meets Mitch, a precocious
boy in a wheelchair who’s battling cancer. The two lonely boys
become fast friends, but as their friendship deepens, each faces a
powerful crisis. As Runt and Mitch struggle with the harsh
realities of poverty, abuse, and illness, each looks to the other
for comfort and courage. Then, Helen’s problems complicate things
even further. Can Runt help them both, and himself, too? The
empathy, insight, and finely drawn characters seen in V. M.
Caldwell’s first two novels are in full view in this moving story
of a young boy’s attempts to create a better life for himself and
those around him.
