Everything in Mercy's life in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa is falling apart. Her eccentric foster aunts are in financial ruin, school is nothing but trouble, and a conniving developer is eyeing her aunts' house. Bit by bit their house seems to be falling apart while Aunt Flora starts forgetting words, names, even how to behave in public. Then Mercy is framed for a theft that she didn't commit and her teachers vow to look into her family life. Mercy not only needs a miracle, she needs to find courage and use her voice to tell complex truths. And she does.
