Vicki's life has been one of privilege.  Her father is a successful businessman.  They have a beautiful home, three cars, country club membership, and everything Vicki could want.  Until the company downsizes and her father finds himself out of work for the first time in 28 years.  Unable to find work in two years, the family must make some sacrifices to say afloat.  Gone is the house, the cars, the country club, the clothes, furniture and most of everything that Vicki had known.  Now they live in a small apartment in the city and never have enough money.  As Vicki struggles to come to terms with her new lifestyle and her new school, she writes in her journal which is the only place she feels she can be completely honest.
