Nova is asked to take on a brother and sister to foster. Their mom died and their father is negligent and abusive. 

This book made my heart hurt for Henry and Bella. They are only 9 and 7 and they just have the worst father. Henry acts out and there is fear (and some very legitimate ways) he's like his dad. All 3 do the best they can in this new situation and Nova is just a saint.

You will get angry but you will also feel joy as the story goes along. The book starts out sad and hard to get through but ends in hope and tears. So beautiful
