(2) 4-6 Molly recounts her seventh-grade year at her great-aunt Fay's while her addict mother is in rehab. Another recent arrival, Will (whose father may or may not be in jail), dubs himself and Molly "strays." Molly takes realistically small steps toward accepting her mother's abandonment of her and her aunt's sincere desire to keep her, and by novel's end both adolescents have found homes and family and are strays no more.
