An unlikely friendship changes lives in this emotional, heartwarming story from the author of Christmas at the Ginger Cat Cafe.
Twelve-year-old Ramona Donnelly knows what happens to kids left alone—the system takes them. So when her grandmother Tilly vanishes, Ramona doesn’t call for help. She tracks Tilly herself from the hospital to a nursing home. But something is wrong. Tilly doesn’t have dementia… does she?
Then there’s Emily, warm and open, who believes the story Ramona spins. She welcomes the odd, brilliant girl with the animal bone collection into her life, unaware that Ramona needs far more than kindness—she needs saving.
But Emily has her own troubles. Her boyfriend Ethan is pulling away, and for some reason, Ramona unsettles him. Why does he find her visits to Cloud Cottage so disturbing?
As the truth unravels, two lives collide in ways neither expected. Because love isn’t just about caring—it’s about fighting for someone, even when the odds are against you.
