Synopsis
When Aunt Latimer's beatings get worse, Kazy decides to run away from home and take her little sister, Beth, with her. Although the country roads are full of danger for two young girls, she has no choice. Kazy is determined to save Beth from their father's cruel, widowed sister, who has moved into the house without asking. Quick-thinking Kazy has the courage to keep going in spite of many obstacles, but when Beth becomes seriously ill, Kazy faces disaster. She is desperate to do the right thing. But once you've run away, it's impossible to go back...isn't it? The ending is far from Hollywood-perfect, but the girls are reunited with their father, and the three reach an understanding that allows them to move beyond the hardships they've faced.
