With each new move, the girls find they can count on only one the consoling, confounding presence of each other.When the family suffers an unimaginable loss, they can't help but Was it meant to be, or did one decision change their lives forever? And what does it mean when home is everywhere and nowhere at the same time? With humor and heart, Brittani Sonnenberg chases this wildly loveable family through the excitement and anguish of their adventures around the world.
