Eleven-year-old foster child Ben Watson has been stuck in the system for years, moving from one disappointing placement to another. He's survived so far by trying to blend in--that is, until fourteen-month-old Grover G. Graham, a fellow "stray," toddles into his heart and rescues him from his emotional isolation. Quattlebaum pulls off this unlikely pairing with restraint and without resorting to sentimentality.
