That is until she lives with Izzy, Old Man, and Steven. They are the family she was always fantasizing about ever since she was little then why did she leave them too even though she didn't want to? After she left them she was sent to live with Josie who is an old lady who is very forgetful. While living with Josie and her pet cat, Henry, Hollis realizes why she left and longs to go back even though she likes Josie very much. But alas, Holliswoods can not go to her true home. Josie is old and forgets things even like making sure Hollis goes to school. Hollis promised Josie's sister, Beatrice, that she would look out for Josie when Beatrice was away in Albuquerque therefore she's tied down. Will Holliswoods go home to her beloved Izzy, Old Man, and Steven? Or will the awful mustard woman who is in charge of where Holliswoods go forbid her? You'll have to read Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff to see what happens.
