Mulberry Seeds

From award-winning author Lisa-Behrens Smith is Mulberry Seeds, A Novella, the story of young sisters Jolene and Corrine, who face poverty, homelessness, and loss during a hot Texas summer of uncovered family secrets. After their father loses his job, the family sells their house and car to try to get by. Little Corrine doesn't understand, and older Jolene's days are filled with jobs cleaning houses and babysitting. As food becomes scarce and moves more frequent, their father grows silent and their mother more angry.

While their parents and their lives fall around them, the sisters find joy in new friends and love from friends and relatives who haven't forgotten them, even while old family scars push them further from those who can help. They wonder, will their hope be enough to get them through the unending heartbreak?
