Chapter 12 - Hannah Discovers Where Her Son’s Secret Coins Went

She looked down at the plastic peanut butter jar filled with coins that Milo had painstakingly gathered over the months.

Milo nodded earnestly, his little face serious. “I wanted to make sure nobody was ever hungry like we were.”

She kissed his forehead repeatedly, realizing her son possessed an emotional intelligence far beyond his five years.
