Emily meets up with Josh when she moves into Kingstown to boarding school, but it is Josh who finds and sees her first.
Josh lives with his parents around the corner from the courthouse, in a corner that is strangely hidden from view. Josh is a sassy streetkid, with dark spikey hair and an intuition that exceeds anyone's knowledge. Josh knows most things before anyone else - and keeps Emily on her toes, as he seems to be able to read her mind.
Josh loves Kingstown as much as Emily first hated it. He knows all the back streets where beauty and surprises can be found. He is Emily's link to the all important Edwina, and her store, that outwardly could look like a store (albeit with a scary, wierd door) but is more than a store. Josh laughs out loud at Emily and makes her crazy with his secretiveness, but he is always there, watching over her and things gives Emily strength.
Josh, in the words of a poet, is a mensch!
