Summary
Family sticks with family. That's the golden rule G'ma taught Kendall. But once G'ma's gone, Kendall has no family leftexcept for an aunt G'ma asked for at the end, who Kendall barely remembers. Only Aunt Janet knows what G'ma had in mind, but she never even shows up at the funeral. With child services on Kendall's case and just 10 days to get her apartment lease renewed, Kendall sets out for Janet's home in New Orleans to get her life in orderand her questions answered. But what she finds are new friends, like Evie, who is confined to a wheelchair, but can sing like the women on G'ma's old records; Miss Clare, who needs Kendall's help as much as Kendall needs hers; and Marcus, who is younger than them all, but still knows how to get by. And when Mardi Gras arrives, with its parades and prizes and music, anything seems possibleeven making a fresh start, with or without Janet. From the Hardcover edition.
