Fifteen-year-old
Deanna Lambert is miserable. She can't find her niche with the popular
kids at school and believes she is ugly. Then too, after her mother
deserted the family to pursue an acting career in New York City,
Deanna's father has grown distant and embittered. Now Deanna is saddled
with most all the chores at home—and she and her dad barely communicate.
Yet
Deanna's one happy escape is her volunteer work at the nearby Children's
Hospital. There the activities director convinces her to get back into
her ventriloquism, a creative skill Deanna's grandfather had taught her
years earlier.
Deanna
and her puppet, Ramblin' Roy, entertain and delight the young hospital
patients, but Deanna is worried. What if the kids at her school discover
what she's doing? Will they think she's just “a baby” who still plays
with dolls?
Deanna
takes the risk, but one problem soon leads to another. Can she ever
gain true acceptance at school, especially from Jason, the guy whom she
has a major crush on? And most of all, can Deanna embrace her gift of
ventriloquism, and in so doing, come to terms with her mother's leaving?
