A Newsies Fanfic. 

Before the Strike, a young girl is kicked out of her home. The only place she's ever known. Wondering the streets a boy with a crutch and a boy with a heavy new York accent pick her up off the streets and give a second chance that she can't give up. Be a Newsie. 


Sure it can be hard running from Synder. Being soaked by Delancey. But at the end of the day its worth it maybe one day being in Santa Fe.
