What readers are saying
Chandra Powell did everything right as a single mother of three, but she couldn’t beat COVID-19. Chandra’s last request of Isabella, her teenage daughter, was to take care of her younger sister and brother.
With no family to turn to, the kids fear being split up in foster care and decide to keep their mother’s death a secret. Amid grieving their loss, the trio successfully manages new challenges for a few weeks until a nefarious neighbor suspects their secret and their daily lives spiral into hopelessness and fear.
Once quarantine restrictions are lifted, a co-worker returns Chandra’s personal effects left behind in her locker. Her intervention changes the course of their lives.
Covid Orphans explores the vulnerability of children and offers an aspirational lifeboat where kind, generous people rally to nurture, love, and keep children safe when their parents can no longer do so. It is a journey from despair to the fulfillment of lifelong dreams, underscoring the concept that “It takes a village to raise a child.”
