SynopsisIf time traveling were a real thing, I'd zap back to the exact minute I asked my mom if I could take piano lessons, and I wouldn't ask that question. Because then Mom wouldn't have found Mrs. Winters right her in her apartment building, and I wouldn't be sitting in Mrs. Winters's living room right now, waiting to play "Waltz of the Sunflowers" in front of a bunch of dressed-up people. My fingers wouldn't be tingling. And I wouldn't be nervous about my parents, who are divorced and not in the habit of being in the same room. Like they are right now. At this exact minute. Ginny Morris's parents are divorced, which is bad enough, but now her dad has a girlfriend Who is this strange man who's become a clean freak and smiles all the time? Will her dad still be the same dad? Will he still have time for her? Does this ruin any chance her parents will get back together? Does her mom care that Dad has a girlfriend? Is it okay if Ginny likes his girlfriend? Ginny sorts through her feelings with the help of her best friend, her journal--and finally, some heart-to-heart talks with Mom and Dad themselves., Ten-year-old Ginny Morris, whose parents are divorced, lives with each parent a week at a time. One day when she arrives at her dad's after a week with her mother, she discovers that the house is spotless, the yard is spruced up, and even her own room has been messed with. The reason: Dad has a friend named Ruth. In the aftermath of this discovery, Ginny grapples with a broad range of feelings: feelings of alienation, anger, and disgust toward her father, grief that her parents won't reconcile, lack of understanding and support from her best friend, a desire to live with her mother full-time, fear that she'll lose her relationship with her father, and antipathy toward Dad's friend. The story takes place over a week's time and comes to a reasonable resolution, with Ginny beginning to accept the directions her parents are taking in their personal lives., If time traveling were a real thing, I'd zap back to the exact minute I asked my mom if I could take piano lessons, and I wouldn't ask that question.
