The summer of 1955 starts off as normal as can be for the Collins girls. Kentucky, the oldest, is the most popular girl in town. Virginia is the prettiest. Georgia is the smartest. The youngest, Carolina, is still trying to find her place in life. With their father gone, their mama is working, but she is struggling to pay the bills. This crisis is softened by the arrival of their favorite cousin, Tadpole. Tad is just a great character that everybody wants around. When they find out just why Tad has come to visit, they spring into action.
