Ivy's mother was devastated when wildfires destroyed much of the suurounding area including her father's church. She was so devastated in fact that she ran away - with Hallalujah Dave to his Great Good Bible Church of Panhandle Florida. Now Ivy doesn't know what to do - and neither does her dad. Ivy flounders around babysitting and making friends with a science nerd Paul. Her dad goes to work but doesn't do much of anything else.
Eventually Ivy and Paul decide to go find Ivy's mom and also visit Cape Canaveral to see the space shuttles before they are retired (because the Panhandle and Canaveral are close right??).
Full of adventure, friendship, and forgiveness this story was a quiet charmer. I loved the line near the end... "Maybe sometimes the wrong things have to happen so the right things can".
