Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "In the early 2000s, thirteen-year-old Katie Wingate has moved more times that she can count, for as long as she can remember.

When Katie and her family come back from an out-of-town funeral, they discover their landlord has unceremoniously evicted them, forcing them to pack lightly and move quickly. They make their way to an Extended Stay America Motel, with Katie's mother promising it's temporary. Within the four walls of their new home, Katie and her siblings, Josh and Haley, try to live a normal life-all while wondering if things would be easier living with their father.
