In the first years of the new millennium, Star and ThatcherA OaaDay are seven and eight years old when they are forcedA to leave the only home they have ever known. Driving crossA country from the Deep South to the West Coast with theirA grandfather, a famous poet they consider strange, sisterA and brother will have to accustom themselves before longA to an eccentric artist who does not look or act anything likeA they think a grandmother should. Settling into entirely newA surroundings, their joys as well as trials and tribulations,A combined with the ebb and flow of memorable relationships,A become central to the siblingsaa incitement for change. AsA each advancing year elicits increasing levels of alarm andA acute dangers, their continuing encounters steer them intoA places and circumstances they never could have imagined.
