Gone Both of them gone After hearing the news of her parent's unexpected deaths, Valleri finds herself "going to be shipped out." Will there be any hope residing in her after her aunt and uncle place her in a colourless orphanage? After years of mistreatment at the orphanage, she takes a leap of faith and embarks on a venture with no friend, no plan, and no destination. Hurt, dejected, and forsaken she continues to travel until she meets the Canines and Grandma Jones and her son, who encourage her to stay in their community. Continued travelling could lead to a doomed fate. However, the move of staying could very well change her life. Could any good come of this? What would you do: accept your grim fate or have the courage to try and change it?
