| Kate
has mono and can't go to Long Island with her girlfriend to spend the summer.
She's stuck at home with her famous artist father who only talks to her
when she brings coffee to his studio at 10 am every morning. She has lots
of time to think about her mom's total attention to her dad -- why didn't
she develop her own artistic talents? And then there's her pesky little
sister interfering with the attention she's been getting from the student
who's been hanging around doing research on her dad. As the summer progresses,
she seems to be able to rediscover her youth, the fun she had painting
clay on the rocks and still gain confidence in her own ability to be of
interest as a person separate from her father. |
