Sweet thing

Summary: Billie is a 15-year-old girl who fantasizes Billie Holiday as a sort of fairy godmother. Billie has to navigate the evolving challenges of her life while she plays mother to her 11-year-old brother, Nico. They meet up with another adolescent, run away from home, and together roam the area free from their parents' watchful eye. They discover freedom and enchantment among the boats and railway tracks of New Bedford, Massachusetts. They fantasize about a life of luxury when they break into a posh home, and are able to carry the taste of affluence into their adventures.
