“Just people.”That was all she said.It was all she needed to say.A girl, a mere sixteen years of age, our girl, a million miles from home, she and her brother, alone in an unnerving helter-skelter world. A few short days ago, cozy and contented, back in their tiny town, they had little idea, or care, that such a place as this existed. Now, they may as well have been teleported out beyond the moon onto some alien planet …“We are people.” She retorts in answer to the old man’s bruising, racially charged interrogation. “Just people.”As the saying goes, out of the mouths of babes sometimes come gems.Brigit’s brother, never known as talkative, has made an instant connection with the man sitting across the table from them. But unexpectedly, with no more than a few hasty assumptions by the old man, that connection threatens to crumble and explode into hostility.But her words turn the tide, and unite this odd trio. Two naïve teenagers and an irrelevant old street bum fuse into a formidable force. The three find themselves flying inescapably into a crazy-minded mission to help a broken city mend its ways.
