Description (from back cover):
People thought because we ran a dump, and lived near the dump, that we lived in it. We couldn't even see the dump from our house, but that didn't matter to the kids who taunted me. I never let them see I was bothered, which is something I learned from my uncle, Old Dad, who I've lived with since I was little.I learned even more from Mrs. Fish--"Crazy Fish" the kids called her--the fat and jolly school custodian who was able to laugh back at the kids who teased her. Old Dad warned me about trusting friendly strangers who might expect favors in return. But at a time of crisis, we both found out what a true and trusting friendship can mean.
