(3) 4-6 Esther, desperately hoping to hold her crumbling family together, thinks finding her absentee preacher father will help. When she awakens one morning to find her eight-year-old sister, Ruth, missing--and their abusive, mentally ill mother passed out--Esther knows she must be the one to find Ruth. This early-1970s-set story of a young girl's courage is poignant and riveting.
