𝑴𝒖𝒍𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 takes you deep into the world of young sisters Jolene and Corrine during the hot Texas summer of 1968. Best friends and sometimes enemies, they speak as only the very young can, displaying an unflinching honesty about their lives and family while they fall into months of poverty, homelessness, conflict, and loss. After their father loses his job, the family is forced to sell their home and car, and even young Jolene must work cleaning houses with their mother. Still, the sisters manage to find joy in an often-painful daily life. From sneaking out of the house to travel the forbidden highway, losing toys in constant moves, being left behind on family outings, having to share their most special days, discovering the toll of death, and putting up with selfish family members, these sisters laugh and plot, supporting and protecting each other in ways that surprise even them. Ultimately, they learn determination and forgiveness in a difficult world.
