But family is all around us, and Lulu must learn to trust her new friends and community to save those she loves and to finally find her true home..

But as the days add up, with no sign of Daddy, Lulu struggles to take care of all the responsibilities they used to manage as a family.
Daddy has gone away once before and he came back.
At first Lulu isn\'t worried.
