Nell Crosby is not one to keep her opinions to herself, especially in a new city she wants to call anything but home. Separated from her brothers against her will, she determines to take every opportunity to let everyone around her know she has no intention of taking lightly what has been forced on her. But then she is confronted with unexpected kindness from two old cooks and a boy who is determined to be her friend in spite of her belligerence. Not only does it bring about a change in her, but it in turn affects others around her. 911 Dauphin St. is a story of hope and healing.
