Then the moving trucks arrive and Little Jack has to face the harsh realities of his family life: his mother is sick, his father is gone, and their house in the suburbs with its loft bedroom and winding banister will be for another family now. The home of Little Jack, his mother Billie, and his five brothers and sisters will be with his grandparents, hundreds of miles away.On moving day, a surprise discovery in his backyard and an invitation into his Grandmother's sanctuary - her beloved greenhouse - inspires Jack to trade baseball for gardening. If he could grow his mother a prize orchid, surely he could fix their broken family and put everything back to the way it should be.
