Charlie Cunningham begs her mom, Amber, to let her switch from her small private school to a public high school, wanting to prove to her (and to herself) that she's changed since being kicked out of school last year.

It's also her way of making up for her divorce two years ago, and she worries that Charlie blames herself for the separation.
