A Place to Belong (2013)
“In the night she cried out once for Ma, but Danny, stumbling through sleep to wakefulness, heard Olga’s voice soothing and quickly comforting her.
It was Danny who cried, muffling his sobs under the quilt. He missed Ma. He missed Mike. He missed everyone so much it was like a terrible aching sore that burned in his chest. We’ve got to get together again. We’ve got to, Danny told himself. I’ll think as hard as I can until I work out a way.
