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. 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.
