Her life in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, with Mama and Papa and her little brother, Charlie, has always felt secure.

One day the impossible happens: Papa cannot make the payments for their house, and the Sheriff Sale sign goes up on their door. They have two weeks to pay the bank, or leave their home forever.
