  Mom and I have been talking a lot these past few weeks... Dad's voice trailed off. And we've decided to get a trial separation. Sammie Davis never expected sweet sixteen to be perfect. But then she didn't expect her parents to separate either, or to have to leave her cosy life in suburbia for a tiny apartment in New York City. She begins a hot and humid summer struggling with feelings of resentment, anger...and lust for the Johnny Depp look-alike in her apartment block. As the vacation rolls on, she makes friends and breaks friends, finds new depths to the word love , and comes to understand that with it come other four-letter words. Like hate; loss; gain. But most important of all, grow.
