Written by Eth Clifford · Illustrated by Mary Beth Owens
A widowed mother and her children find a home, and a friend, during the Depression.
In Depression-era Philadelphia, ten-year-old Leah, her little brother Daniel and their newly widowed mother can find no one willing to rent to them, until the Safers let them move in above their grocery store. Leah is frightened of the dark stairs and of the other tenant, Gideon, a blind young musician. But his music and kindness win the family over, and Leah will need his courage when her brother's future is at stake.
