Summary:
Missy's mother has gone back to school to pursue her dream of becoming an artist. Missy's father works in advertising and takes Missy on secret midnight excursions to Harlem and the Village so she can share his love of jazz. When her father's alcohol and drug addiction begins to take over their lives, Missy's mother decides that she and her daughter must make a fresh start, leaving her old apartment, her school, her best friend and her cats to become a latchkey kid while her mother gets a job.
