David is just eight years old. Eight is too young to lose your mother, but David has lost his. Carolyn Sue Limpert of Minnesota died in an accidental fall after slipping when someone forgot to put out a "wet floor" sign where they'd been cleaning. David missed seeing the sunrise with her as they'd arranged, and he's sworn that he'll never see a sunrise unless it's with her. He has a plan to make this happen. David believes that if he never breaks a rule, if he never forgets a wet floor sign, and if he keeps it up long enough, his mother will come back and it'll all turn out to be some kind of bad dream. While he's busy rule-following, David makes it his business to keep everyone at a distance, especially his grandmother, who is doing her best to look after him while his father works long hours.
