Description

More than anything, ten-year-old Weezie wants to please her momma. She babysits her spoiled half-sister, Ruth Ann, and little Jackson. She makes tea for Momma in Gramma Emmeline’s beautiful teapot. She even tries to cook dinner. But nothing seems relatively right. And Momma is never pleased. Hard times and a daddy who ran off before she was once born appear to have stolen all of Momma’s love.

If only Weezie could find her daddy, she’s sure her life would be happier. Uninterested in making up stories about a parent she knows nothing about, Weezie teams up together with her bike-riding buddy, Calvin, and new friend, Louella, to seek out her mysterious father. Does he drive a truck? Sing country and western songs? Why, her real daddy may even be better than the made-up father she’s been telling lies about at school! Now, all she has to do is find him.

Jean Van Leeuwen’s poignant, powerful novel introduces a feisty heroine whose brave search proves that even a life that’s missing necessary pieces can also be chock full of things that matter.
