Oddly, seven year-old Ali’s family all live in different places! Ali and her older brother are boarded out in two separate homes during the week. Their mother lives in the San Fernando Valley in a little house that Ali and her brother visit on weekends, and their father is in show business and always away “on the road”. Ali’s prayer each night is to bring her family together, “where we could all live in the same place, all week long.” One magical day, Ali’s father tells his family to sell the house and move to New York City where they can all live together. Has Ali’s prayer come true? Ali’s vision of having a family that looks like the images in her Dick and Jane school book do not necessarily come to pass; she finds their lives in New York City much more like her favorite book, “Alice in Wonderland.”
