At twelve, Janelle wants nothing more than to be a writer. "Write what you know," advises her aunt Barbara. That seems like a riddle to Janelle: all she knows is her mama and her two little sisters, playing Pioneers when the electricity gets cut off, waiting and hoping for Daddy to find a job and come back home. Who'd want to read about a life like that? But as Janelle starts putting it all on paper, she finds she does have something to say–about friendship, about getting through, and most of all, about what makes a family rich. Melrose Cooper writes from the heart about a young girl who, step by step, makes her dream come true.
