Description

Sixteen-year-old Deanna Lambert is miserable. She can't find her niche with the popular kids at school and she believes she is ugly. Then, too, after her mother deserted the family to pursue an acting career, Deanna's father has grown distant and embittered. Now Deanna is saddled with most of 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 her grandfather had taught her years earlier. Deanna and her puppet, Ramblin' Rosie, entertain and delight the young hospital patients, but Deanna is worried. What if the kids at 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 acceptance at school, especially from Jason, a guy she has a major crush on? And most of all, can Deanna come to terms with her ventriloquism, and in so doing, come to terms with her mother's leaving?
