In the grim foster home for orphans run by Louise and Gordon Tooey, Brooke,Crystal,Raven, and Butterfly had a motto "All for one and one for all." They soon discovered a secret more haunting than Gordon's heavy boots pounding on the wooden floors. Their hopes of a better life are shattered. They escape and are soon runaways in a borrowed car, trying to find a place of sunshine and love.
Raven hoped to be a singer, Butterfly wanted to be a dancer, Crystal planned for college, and Brooke hoped to find her mother in California. Are they ever going to find a safe place to fulfill their dreams?
This is a great read about four young teenagers trying to escape awful childhoods and make a better life for themselves.
