The Story
Three phones.
Everything she has left.
On a rainy Christmas Eve in Vancouver, sixteen-year-old Lily shelters beneath an awning. In her backpack are three old phones: her father’s, her mother’s, and her own.
The batteries are fading. Inside are photographs and voices from the home she remembers, from a crooked star on the Christmas tree to a red bicycle her father promised they would choose together.
An illustrated short story for adult readers about family, grief, and homelessness.
