All their lives, sisters Josie and Sandra Campbell have dreamed of being ordinary American teenagers. But, thanks to their eccentric, intellectual parents, they and their little brother Tenny have spent the past decade sailing to exotic ports as their father William lectures and writes books and their mother Mary paints.

Then, the siblings convince their parents to let them move in with their grandmother, so that Josie can experience a year of high school and Sandra college. As for Tenny, he's pretty happy anywhere...but just like his older sisters, he's thrilled for the opportunity to find friends and have his own adventures in this tiny Midwestern town.

At first, the other teenagers in town are pretty wary of Josie and Sandra. Who wouldn't be, of two girls who spent most of their lives abroad, and are years ahead of their peers in school? But before long, they warm up to quiet, kind-hearted Sandra and fun-filled, crazy Josie, and although they didn't realize it before, they may just need them as much as the two sisters need the town.

furthers strengthens the close-knit relationship between the siblings, Sandra (age 18), Josie (age 15), and Tenny (age 10). Josie is a high school senior at Wallaceville, Indiana, and one of the main characters in her senior play. The author Lambert does a very adept depiction of the difficult struggle that the main characters of opposite gender experience in portraying stage love, while trying to deal with real emotions between each other.
