At twelve years old, Crystal’s world shatters in a single moment—a car accident takes her mother’s life and leaves her without a leg. When her father loses his job soon after, the family sells their house and sets off across America in a battered camper, chasing the promise of a new beginning in a small town.

Through wildfires and blizzards, bullies and unexpected friendships, Crystal and her family discover resilience in the face of loss. Special days with her dad and the support of her aunts help her navigate the ache of missing her mom’s funeral, while the journey itself becomes a path toward healing.

Set against the backdrop of 2019’s challenges, this is a story of courage, family, and hope—of finding strength in the hardest places and learning that even in the wake of grief, love can light the way forward.
