For as long as she can remember, Kylie Briscoe's been searching for the moon even though she has no idea why it soothes her. Placed in an impossible situation by her mother, Kylie cries for help. It brings rescuers and a new life, but it feels more like a death sentence when she is separated from her three-year-old sister Aliza, the only person Kylie's ever really loved.
Now she's. in tiny Patience, Texas, with her eccentric potty-mouthed grandmother, ever-patient stargazing grandfather, an uncle who reminds her a lot of a cop who terrified her: during a drug bust, a herd of Norwegian Dwarf goats, their "guard donkeys," and three canine roommates occupying. Kylie's former nursery.
When the authorities make a mistake that could cost her everything, Kylie must decide whether to tell the truth--all of it-in order to save herself and her sister.
