Description: A friend like Layla comes along once in a lifetime. Griffin's daddy used to say that Layla had been sent to comfort them after Tishkin went away, like a candle in the dark.

Through their new friendship, Layla and Griffin learn the importance of memory, generosity of spirit, and the small miracles that warm the heart.
