I'll Be There submitted by vicki browne on August 17, 2011, 4:41pm Music, loyalty, and imagination, these are the threads that carry this story, along with characters you'll never forget. Riddle is the younger brother who draws the inner workings of machines and gadgets and speaks sparingly. He and his older brother, Sam, live with their unstable Father, whose stealing ways keeps them isolated and on the run. Along comes the Bell family, changing all of their lives forever. Chance meetings and small decisions in the right direction are cornerstone to this story.
