Follow a young girl's memoir. See through her eyes as she travels in the 1940s and 1950s from a small Northern California town then up and down the state and on to Oklahoma, Texas, and all the way to Adak, Alaska in the Aleutian Islands. This is a story of survival, how she and her sister adapt, not only to new schools, and new friends but new stepfathers, and "uncles." Even more, this is a genuine story about love, especially the love for her mother, her grandmother and her little sister. For it is true that love covers a multitude of sins.
