Stichley's Rating:
This first book tells the story of Francis and Petey in the family.  This was a book that my sister and I both enjoyed having read to us by are parents before bed every night.  As the children are forced to separate from their mother and each other they have to learn how to have new lives where not all are loved as they once were.

Instances of Swearing:
