Molly's boyfriend cheats on her. Distracted and sad, the fifteen-year-old starts hanging out with the nine-year-old Girl Corps kids. Along with her boisterous Irish family and her accordion, Girl Corps is something she can count on. Readers will enjoy meeting Molly, a real teenager who, while just as unsure of herself as the next girl, is ultimately solid at her core.
