Two girls living a continent apart become pen pals. Quiet and shy, Neyah lives in a rural African

village and longs for more time in school, but spends most days fetching filthy water for her family

to survive. Bold and boisterous, Abby lives comfortably in a modern city and spends much of her

time planning her social calendar. Despite their differences, an unlikely friendship forms, and they

discover they have one thing very much in common. Their lives are tragically threatened by

something they can't control. Or maybe they can.
