- Family
- sticks
- with
- family.
- That’s
- the
- golden
- rule
- G’ma
- taught
- Kendall.
- But
- once
- G’ma’s
- gone,
- Kendall
- has
- no
- family
- left—except
- for
- an
- aunt
- G’ma
- asked
- for
- at
- the
- end,
- who
- Kendall
- barely
- remembers.
- Only
- Aunt
- Janet
- knows
- what
- G’ma
- had
- in
- mind,
- but
- she
- never
- even
- shows
- up
- at
- the
- funeral.
- With
- child
- services
- on
- Kendall’s
- case
- and
- just
- 10
- days
- to
- get
- her
- apartment
- lease
- renewed,
- Kendall
- sets
- out
- for
- Janet’s
- home
- in
- New
- Orleans
- to
- get
- her
- life
- in
- order—and
- her
- questions
- answered.But
- what
- she
- finds
- are
- new
- friends,
- like
- Evie,
- who
- is
- confined
- to
- a
- wheelchair,
- but
- can
- sing
- like
- the
- women
- on
- G’ma’s
- old
- records;
- Miss
- Clare,
- who
- needs
- Kendall’s
- help
- as
- much
- as
- Kendall
- needs
- hers;
- and
- Marcus,
- who
- is
- younger
- than
- them
- all,
- but
- still
- knows
- how
- to
- get
- by.
- And
- when
- Mardi
- Gras
- arrives,
- with
- its
- parades
- and
- prizes
- and
- music,
- anything
- seems
- possible—even
- making
- a
- fresh
- start,
- with
- or
- without Janet.
