Thirteen-year-old Sunny Skyland feels all alone in the world, desperately clinging to the few memories she has left of her loving family. But when her mom and grandmother died in a car accident, she and her twin sister, Starr, were split up, and Sunny hasn�t seen or heard from Starr ever since.
Sunny�s life hasn�t held much love since she lost her family. One distant relative even abandoned her in an empty apartment. Following that, she became part of �the system�, bouncing from one foster home to another. She has been placed with a single woman named Rita, who seems decent enough except for her enthusiasm for healthy food. There�s no junk food of any kind allowed in the entire house, causing a problem for the Twinkie-addicted Sunny. Despite that downside, Sunny can�t help but start liking Rita. Still, she can�t shake feeling somewhat incomplete and realizes there�s only one thing that can change that - finding Starr.
