What happens when your mum gets sent off to prison and there’s no one around to care for you? Where would you live? Could you keep your dog? Where would you go to school? Would you crumple in a heap of sorrow or would you learn to shine? See what happens to 11-year-old Tiff when her mum’s not around. There’s a kind police officer and a mean girl in a foster home. There’s a long lost aunt and an adventure that takes her by ferry to live on a tiny island without any street lights, without any cars.
