Echo Park Castaways












Quentin is the newest part of the family in Mrs. K's home,  Vic, Nevaeh, and Mara have been there for awhile.  Nevaeh does most of the care actually - Mrs. K is an older lady who is still grieving her husband and works a lot.  Nevaeh dreams of getting out and eventually becoming a doctor.  Vic imagines that he is a spy who will eventually go to El Salvador to rescue his father.  In reality his father has been deported.  Mara barely speaks and when she does it's in Spanish.  When Quentin arrives with Asperger's Vic sets out to help him reunite with his mom.  But their quest soon involves all of the children and they learn that sometimes family is what you make of it.
Really well done and heartwarming.
