"Joyce is almost eleven. Life in the city doesn't offer much to her Metis family. When Joyce's grandmother dies, she leaves her a knotted handkerchief covered with forget-me-nots and filled with seeds. Although disappointed at first, Joyce uses those seeds and hard work to turn her famiy's junk-filled back yard into a vegetable garden. The vegetables from her "grandmother's" garden help fed the striking workers where her Dad works."--Back cover.
