Description
Caroline and J.P. find themselves reluctantly spending a summer with their dad and his new family, a situation that feels more like a punishment than an adventure. Caroline, at eleven, is grappling with the complexities of familial bonds and trying to navigate her emotions amidst the chaos of blending families. J.P., who is older, wrestles with his own feelings of resentment and uncertainty.
As summer unfolds, they discover that family isn’t just about blood ties. Through unexpected friendships and heartwarming moments, Caroline and J.P. begin to see their new siblings in a different light. They learn to embrace change, challenge their assumptions, and ultimately find solace in the unlikeliest of places, transforming a challenging summer into a journey of growth and understanding.
