DD was a sad and lonely little pup living all alone, deep in the Mississippi countryside. That is, until the day she met a little girl and her grandmother walking down the road. She trotted after them, and soon met a family she thought wanted to call her their own...but after some time, DD's new family left her behind. Even though she was lonely once again, DD never gave up hope that, one day, a miracle would occur and her family would come back for her. This is a story of love, hope, and the unshakable bond between a dog and her true family!

Read by Dule Hill2 cassettesNothing is like it used to be. If it were, Mama would still be alive. Papa wouldn't have died. Thirteen-year-old Lafayette's older brother, Charlie wouldn't have done time at a correctional facility. And oldest brother Ty'ree would have gone to college instead of having to work full time to support the three of them. If things were the same, Lafayette wouldn't be so full of questions, like why Mama had to die, why Charlie hates him so much now, and how they're all supposed to survive these times together when so much seems to be set against them.This is the story of three remarkable young men; brothers who have only each other to rely on and who must decide whether they'll work with that or let it tear them apart.
