The Perfect Place
Twelve-year-old Treasure Daniels and her younger sister must move in with Great-aunt Grace until their mother sorts herself out, but life in Black Lake, Virginia, where segregation lingers, is hard and Grace is a nightmare—at least on the surface.
Treasure's father has been gone for months. He's done it before, but has never taken this long to send word, and Mom is tired of waiting.
So Mom leaves Treasure and Tiffany with her aunt Grace while she goes looking for him. Great-Aunt Grace can't cook and she doesn't even own a TV. Treasure is sure that the weeks she is stuck there will be the worst of her life. She also knows eventually she'll find the perfect place: a home with just Mom, Dad, and Tiffany.
But living with Great-Aunt Grace isn't like Treasure expected. Turns out, the perfect place isn't always what you imagine it to be.
