To 12-year-old Carrie, Dad's girlfriend Sharon is nothing but an intruder, disrupting the peace of a family already disrupted by the death of her mother. Hoping to get away from the situation at a New York art school, Carrie earns money working for an elderly neighbor. But when the neighbor has a heart attack, Carrie finds herself faced with yet another devastating loss--not just of her escape but of a special friend. Having pushed her father and sister away, who is there to help Carrie?
