Up until now, 8-year-old Autumn has had a pretty good life.

Autumn lives in the Bronx, New York. Even though her family may not have a lot of money, and it sure would be great if her Daddy wouldn’t drink so much, for the most part, Autumn thinks she’s got it pretty darn good. With her big sister Dakota to play (and fight with!), her best friend Ziah to always be there for her, her Grandma and Granddaddy to spoil her, and the world’s greatest Mama to raise her right, Autumn figures she can get through just about anything.

Until just about everything goes wrong.

Autumn will need all her sass and spunk to get through the troubles this year brings. Can she survive everything the world throws at her? Life may not be fair but that doesn’t mean she’s going to give up.

And just maybe, there’s a rainbow waiting for her at the end of this storm.
