Note "Inspired by a stunning true story of the Great Depression"--Cover.
Summary "Teeny, Sonny Boy and Vic have been swallowed up by the desperation and devastation of the Great Depression, but as they navigate the ravages of poverty and prejudices, the trio forms a family bond as strong as the forces against them. On the road, they see the scars of inhumanity everywhere, but they are buoyed by the fantastical tales Teeny weaves around campfires in hobo jungles and migrant camps. With Teeny's words embracing them their subsistence is bearable, and they can be content. But when a solemn pact fails to protect them, their lives are forever changed. And Sonny Boy is left to tell their story, and his own"--Back cover.
