SUNSHINE
Emily loves cooking, going out with friends, and writing. More than anything, though, she loves her family. After Emily's mother suddenly dies, she takes the reins and helps steer her family in the right direction, driving the kids to school, making lunch, and keeping her dad on track, leaving little time for her personal life. When the opportunity arises for Emily to participate in a summer writing program out of state, she must ride the thin line between her responsibility to her family and responsibility to herself.
