When Imani's mother decides to leave her husband, she takes her two children to visit their great-aunt Dot in Los Angeles. On the way she tells them stories about the year she was ten, when her mother left and she lived with Aunt Dot. The parallel plot lines seem unnecessary and distracting, although the stories are interesting.
