The Summer of Violet

Violet has a mom she calls Jessie and a father she never got to meet. She lives in a home-on-wheels, also known as a trailer, and she has a runaway fund stashed away under her bed in a mason jar. This summer she wants to get a summer job and make some money for her fund—to bad nobody wants to hire a kid. But Violet isn’t just any ten year old—she’s made up her mind to get a job, and with the help of her best friend Travis, she’s going to get one. That’s just the start of her summer adventures with Travis. The two of them are about to have a summer that will change Violet’s life. From camping trips to the emergency room, her best friend is at her side, helping her handle all her problems. Violet’s biggest problem is having a mother who doesn’t want to be a mom. All Violet wants is a real family. Will she find it? And what if it’s nothing like what she’d expected?
