Since both of her parents remarried, African American eleven-year-old Georgie ("G-baby") has lots to get used to, including older stepsister Tangie, who seems to hate her. While trying desperately to win Tangie over, G-baby's younger sister, Peaches, is hospitalized with meningitis. This brings the blended family together in slow but sure ways. G-baby's desires and insecurities feel painfully real, as does her journey toward loving her new family.
