Although Matty Frank and his brother Henry are born into unfortunate circumstances (a selfish father and a neglectful mother), they gain strength from each other. But just when the boys think their lives can't get any worse, they do. When the boys are left vulnerable and at the whim of the hateful adults charged with their protection and welfare, the question Can they ever become whole again? STILL portrays the consequences suffered by children when adults make poor decisions, but it's also a story about love and even hope. How much hope is up to Matty and Henry. Will they succumb to their misfortunes, or will they have faith enough to believe that better days lie ahead?
