Twins, Florida and Dalla, have experienced the cruelty of mankind as they live in a children's home, Boxton Creek Home for Children, directed by Mr. and Mrs. Trepid and have had their share of foster homes. When elderly couple, Tiller and Sairy Morey, take the children to their home in Ruby Holler, the children slowly begin to hope and trust.
An exciting adventure in the woods and on the river solidify the relationships.
Then there is a mysterious man named "Z". What is his connection to the Trepids, the Moreys and the children?
A book of hope.
*Highly recommend.
Points to discuss/warnings: People treat Florida and Dallas cruelly. Parents abandoning children.
