  • When I got to the water I was sinking lower and lower I thought I'd drown but somehow I could breath I opened my eyes I was back to the top of the water everything was weird I was in an alternate dimension then I swam back down and I was home I think. - Micheal Duckworh's journal entry in his Writer's Notebook at school

    Sierra Williams and Micheal Duckworth live with their mother Samatha Stevenson and her fiancé DeWayne Foston Sr. along Route BB in St. James, Missouri. As siblings, Sierra and Micheal share daily life and look out for one another. Under one roof, brother and sister grow as individuals and grow closer together.
    Micheal and Sierra turned this old chicken coop into a clubhouse and started the "M&S Club" where they play together. They spray painted their names and other decorations on the walls. Micheal says he climbs up onto the roof everyday.
