All We Had – Annie Weatherwax

All We Had tells the story of the hardscrabble life of thirteen-year-old Ruthie and her mother, Rita. Ruthie and Rita have never had a stable life, but after many ups and down they have carved out a space for themselves the small town of Fat River. But even as Ruthie hopes that their life has finally gotten back on track, it takes another frightening turn. All We Had has been praised as a “strong, quiet and powerful look at the human heart,” by Kate Alcott.
