Sasha has suffered many loses in her short 13 years. First her
mother left the family. Then her father was
killed in a mining accident. Her brother Michael
gave up his dream of leaving their small town to stay
and take care of Sasha. But he too is
gone. Michael has died in an accident and now
Sasha is alone in the world. She is sent to live
with Phyllis, a nice woman who takes in foster
children. It isn't easy for Phyllis. Sasha
is a handful. She runs away. She breaks
things. She gets into fights. But through
it all, Phyllis stays by Sasha's side. Sasha is
drawn to 9-year-old Mikey who lives next door and has
lots of issues of his own. When Sasha joins the
school's poetry club, she finally finds something in
her life that makes sense. Will poetry be
Sasha's voice?
