Fiction by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Stewie is eleven years old, a sensitive boy who raises chickens and sells their eggs to neighbors. His older sister, who is his guardian, worries that maybe he is too sensitive. In truth, he is mourning the loss of both the grandmother who raised him from infancy and the parents he doesn't really remember. Then Stewie meets Marilyn, an elderly neighbor who reminds him of his recently deceased grandmother, and forms a relationship with her. But Marilyn has her own secrets...
This was a lovely little character story. I really enjoyed it.
