Twin orphans pass through several foster homes before coming to Tiller and Sairy in Ruby Holler. The plot takes several twists and turns before coming to a conclusion, which is really only another beginning. An excellent and satisfying read, both predictable and yet suspensful. It's too bad all needy children can't grow up in Ruby Holler.
