Kevin finds a box containing letters and legal papers hidden in his grandmother’s shabby sofa. When the contents reveal a devastating truth about his family, the young boy is forced to make a life-changing decision.”I’m going to miss Granny,” Kevin whispered as he ran his fingers over the dark stain on Granny’s sofa. He’d spilled juice on the old furniture once, but Granny had been more concerned about refilling his drink than the damage he’d done. “Why mourn for an old trout who left you this junk?” Dad shook his head and kicked the sofa, snapping Kevin out of his thoughts. “This sofa isn’t junk. It’s Granny’s memory,” Kevin whispered…
Dad curled his lips in disgust. “Have you forgotten she ratted me out to Social Services and how she tried to hand you over to that other family?” “Those people aren’t too bad, and they let me come here for a few days because of Granny’s funeral. I wish I didn’t need to go back…I want to live with you,” Kevin hung his head.
