Angie was looking forward to a summer of fun in the sun with friends, lazy days at the beach, and ice cream cones. Unfortunately, Angie’s mom has different plans for her daughter. Angie will be spending her summer in a flower shop folding origami and learning her family history from her grandparents. Little does she know that fun can be had in the most unusual places, and sometimes we don’t get to choose which path we take. As Angie’s parents struggle with their impending divorce, Angie discovers friendship and a first kiss. Will she learn the importance of family, honesty and trust?
