Cindy Lou, a young girl with a mind of her own, will let you know it with words and actions. Innocent in many ways, but she knows how to protect herself.
After her mother goes on tour with an acting troupe, Cindy and her dad have quite an experience getting her through high school. A first kiss, a new neighbor, a careless young man with sex on his mind, a lost first love, and a homeless boy all play a part in her growing up.
Will her mother return home in time to save Cindy's dad from utter despair?
