Christy carries with him a burden of guilt as well, haunted by the story of his mother’s death in childbirth.\n\nThe wandering life is the only one Christy has ever known, but when his grandfather dies, everything changes. His father decides to settle briefly, in a town, where Christy and his cousin can receive proper schooling and prepare for their first communions. But still, always, they are treated as outsiders.\n\nAs Christy struggles to find his way amid the more conventional lives of his new classmates, he starts to question who he is and where he belongs. But then the discovery of an old newspaper photograph, and a long-buried secret from his mother’s mysterious past, changes his life forever....\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0451229487\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0451229487.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cummins, Jeanine\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: It's been through some chapters of life!
