After his mother's death, Jerome goes to live with his aunt, uncle, and cousins. Jerome befriends Mr. Willie, who lives in an abandoned carriage house and who everyone thinks is crazy. Cheng wisely lets readers find commonalities between the characters without hitting her audience over the head with Jerome's emotions.
