In lots of ways, Carrie Parker is like an other eight-year-old -- playing make-believe, dreading school, dreaming of faraway places. But even her imaginative mind can't shut out the realities of her impoverished North Carolina home or help her protect her younger sister, Emma.
By turns achingly naive and utterly pragmatic, Carrie has been shaped by the increased loss of her beloved daddy and by a drunken stepfather and her emotionally absent mother. Charting an astonishing span of survival for herself and Emma, she hopes to transform their lives into one more closely resembling the storybooks she treasures.
But following the sisters' plan to run away from home unravels, their world takes a shocking turn -- and one shattering moment finally reveals a truth that leaves everyone reeling.
Narrated with the simplicity and unabashed honestly of an child's perspective, Me & Emma is a vivid portrayal of heartbreaking loss of innocence, an indomitable spirit and incredible courage -- a story that will resonate with readers long after they've turned the final page.
