Brooklyn Turner shied away from everyone, all in the hopes of avoiding unwanted attention and getting hurt again. It was an easy plan. But when is anything ever easy? Hunter Evans, the star of the football team, comes to her for tutoring. He's always saw her, but never approached her. Why would he? He's the most popular guy in school and best friends with Kara Adams, Brooklyn's tormenter. Despite what his friends thought, he saw her for who she really was. But he never saw the impact she'd have on him. Or how much they needed each other.

CarolSue and her sister, Louisa, are best friends, but haven't had much in common since CarolSue married Charlie, moved to Atlanta, and swapped shoes covered with Indiana farm dust and chicken poop for fresh pedicures and afternoon bridge. Charlie's sudden death leaves CarolSue so adrift that she surrenders to Louisa's plan for her to move back home. But canning vegetables and feeding chickens are alien to CarolSue. Then Louisa's son, Reverend Gary, arrives with an abandoned infant and a dubious story. He begs the women to look after the baby while he locates the mother.

After losing her husband, Harold, and her beloved grandson, Cody, within the past year, Louisa has two choices. She can fade away on her Indiana family farm, where her companionship comes courtesy of her aging chickens and an argumentative cat. Or, she can concoct a plan. Louisa, a retired schoolteacher who's as smart, sassy, and irreverent as ever, isn't the fading away type.

This short story for middle grade listeners features sisters Rose and Louisa who move with their mother into an apartment over a funeral parlor. Possibly not the most exciting neighbors—until the day they recognize the person being delivered in a hearse.
