Bookroo's summary

Dallas and Florida, known as the 'trouble twins,' have lost hope in finding a loving home. Enter Tiller and Sairy, an eccentric couple from the enchanting Ruby Holler, who invite them on a life-changing adventure. As the twins adjust to the beauty of the Holler and prepare for new journeys, they discover the magic of belonging. Will this be the family they've been searching for, or just another fleeting dream? In a world where freedom and home intertwine, their lives may never be the same.

From the publisher

“You are now entering Ruby Holler, the one and only Ruby Holler! Your lives are never going to be the same—“

“Trouble twins” Dallas and Florida are orphans who have given up believing there is such a thing as a loving home. Tiller and Sairy are an eccentric older couple who live in the beautiful, mysterious Ruby Holler, but they’re restless for one more big adventure. When they invite the twins to join them on their journeys, they first must all stay together in the Holler, and the magic of the place takes over. Two pairs of lives grow closer and are changed forever.
