Pride, Nightingale, and Baby have been through a lot in
their short lives. Losing both of their parents and
winding up in a shelter before their Grandfather, Old
Finn, shows up to claim them. They move from the commune
in New Mexico to Old Finn's quiet 40 acres known as Eden
in rural Minnesota. Old Finn keeps to himself and they
accept this arrangement and are home schooled in academics
and life skills right up to the day Old Finn takes sick
and goes into the hospital. Nothing Old Finn taught them
prepared them for life on their own. Pride, the oldest,
swings into protective mode and will stop at nothing to
prevent others from stepping in and placing them into
foster care. After starting their own business to earn
money and deflecting questions from nearly everyone they
have to accept they may not be able to stay on their own
for long. (South
Carolina Children's Book Award nominee, 2015
