There's a Hole in my Sidewalk: The Romance of Self-Discovery By:  Portia Nelson There are so many people who will spend hours trying to read a book about self-discovery...trying to learn more about themselves and how to take control of their life.

They are hard working kids that value what they have. The store owner and his wife seems to take them in but late at night when the children overhear how the bakery owner and his wife were going to split them up and give the younger two away, the children leave....together. For they also value family. Family comes first and they will stay together forever. These are the Alden children. Even though they don't have a father nor a mother they learned that family is more important than anything.

As they turn that Boxcar into a nice home for themselves, the oldest finds work near by that will help pay for food. What he doesn't realize is that it will get them closer to the min
