Description
For Greta, having light and carefree Hackey hanging around her mom is a lot more fun than having an ordinary dad. But Hackey isnโt her fatherโheโs more like a pimp, and no matter how friendly he is, he still treats Gretaโs mom like dirt. When the situation at home goes from bad to worse, Greta is moved into a home for at-risk children where she meets some of the most interesting girls she has ever knownโand a shy young boy named Wing.
ย
Gretaโs riding a San Francisco cable car when she notices Wing carrying a huge basket of delicious-smelling food. Itโs for his grandfather, Old Man, who is dying in the Chinese hospital. Although they donโt speak the same language, Greta and Old Man will become fast friendsโtwo survivors, who refuse to give up on life.
