Bud, Not Buddy, by Christopher Paul Curtis is about a boy named Bud Caldwell who is motherless, and has no idea where his father is. Life is rough for him in the foster home(s), for he isn't treated with much respect. One day, he is sent to another foster home, and that became the final straw.
Zooey, smoking and soaking in a tub, is reading a four-year-old letter from his brother, Buddy. His mother, Bessie, enters the bathroom, and the two have a long discussion, centering upon Bessie's worries about his sister, Franny, who is in a state of emotional collapse.
