Sharla Cody is only five but has already had a troubled life. Then she finds herself dumped with an elderly neighbour when her mother takes off for the summer. Although Sharla is not the angelic child Addy Shadd had pictured when she agreed to look after her, the two soon forge a deep bond. To Addy's surprise, Sharla's presence brings back memories of her own childhood in Rusholme, a town settled by fugitive slaves in the mid-1800s.

This book tells the story of a lonely 70-year-old woman, living in a trailer park near Lake Erie. She sudenly has to take care of the long-neglected five year old neighbour girl Sharla. The presence of Sharla who is not in the beginnig a very lovable girl brings back all the long forgotten memories of Addy´s harsh life. It is awfully depressing, because Addy suffered a lot. It is hard to believe that all this can be endured.B ut the book is also optimistic, because it speaks about the power of love, that can grow where you don´t expect it. It left me in tears. I really liked it a lot. I was quite surprised that the writer is white. ( )
