Something terrible has happened. Eleven-year-old Aubrey is on her own.

?It was fun at first, playing house. Nothing to think about but T.V and cheese. A perfect world.?

She?s determined to hide away and take care of herself, because facing the truth is too much to bear.

?I couldn?t let anyone know that I was alone. I was staying right here.?

But with the love of her grandmother and the letters she writes, can Aubrey begin to see that even though she?s lost everything ? all is not lost?
