Gabby Weiss longs for her father to remarry so that she will have a stepmother who can help her navigate the transition from childhood to adolescence. When her father doesn't marry the woman Gabby assumed he would, she begins the painful and fulfilling task of exploring her own past. The novel skillfully blends accounts of Gabby's life at home and at school.
