Saver, The

During a bleak Montreal winter, an orphaned teenage girl finds herself reeling in shock and grief after the death of her single mother (Michelle Thrush, BLACKSTONE). With no money and no one to turn to, she leaves school and tries to survive on her own, using only her wits and her mother's financial advice book. As she dodges Protective Services officials and scrapes by with odd jobs, her dream of becoming a millionaire pushes her through sorrow and loneliness. Based on the young adult novel, THE SAVER is a smart and touching coming-of-age story about survival and the things we can't put a price on.
