Viji has decided that living on the streets of Chennai, India is better for her sister Rukku and herself than staying with their abusive father. This book tells of the sisters journey from abuse to the streets and beyond. They meet two homeless boys who become brothers to them.But when sickness strikes, Viji must make some tough decisions about their freedom and their health.
I recommend this book but give it four and a half stars instead of five because I was disappointed that it wasn't set in America. I was looking for a fictional book on homeless children.
