"The Stars at Oktober Bend" by Glenda Millard tells the poignant story of a young girl named Mercy, who has suffered a traumatic brain injury. Struggling to communicate and connect with the world, she finds solace in her love for poetry and the starry nights. As she navigates her challenges, Mercy forms an unlikely friendship with a boy named Joker, who is grappling with his own family burdens. Through their bond, they learn to confront their pasts and embrace the beauty of life, hope, and the power of imagination in a world that can often be dark and isolating.
