In many ways, Carrie Parker is like any other eight-year-old -- playing make-believe, dreading school, dreaming of faraway places. But even her naively hopeful mind can't shut out the terrible realities of home or help her to protect her younger sister, Emma
As the big sister, Carrie is determined to do anything to keep Emma safe from a life of neglect and abuse at the hands of their drunken stepfather, Richard -- abuse their momma can't seem to see, let alone stop.
After the sisters' plan to run away from their impoverished North Carolina home unravel, Carrie's world soon takes a shocking turn -- with devastating results. In one shattering moment in the Parker sister' lives, a startling act of violence ultimately reveals a truth that leaves everybody reeling.
By turns poignant, disarming and bittersweet, Me & Emma is the story of an endearingly precocious child and her determined fight to put the pieces of her fractured childhood back together.
Review:
"A credible and appealing eight-year-old narrates the story of her family's hardscrabble life....Flock captures Carrie's powerlessness and resourcefulness beautifully."
