Olivia is juggling more than any almost-thirteen-year-old should. Since her dad left the family, Olivia cares for her little sister, prepares meals her exhausted single mother won't eat, and regularly enters sweepstakes in hopes their luck will improve and they can move out of Sunny Pines Trailer Park. Ellis poignantly reveals Olivia's inner life, her anger, and the daydreams that enable her to survive.
