Image and description from LS2 Website | When twelve-year-old Sugar's grandfather dies and her gambling father takes off yet again, Sugar and her mother lose their home in Missouri. They head to Chicago for a fresh start, only to discover that fresh starts aren't so easy to come by for the homeless. Nevertheless, Sugar's mother has taught her to be grateful no matter what, so Sugar does her best and comes to understand that while she can't control the hand life deals her, she can control how she responds. If you were the main character in the story, would you have acted differently? Explain why or how. |
