Her unconventional views for a 12-year-old girl make her an outcast among her peers, which she in turn blames for her situation rather than anything of her own doing. Her only real friend is John Henry, her younger next-door neighbor, although she doesn't see him as a friend since she doesn't consider him a peer. As her widowed father is consumed with running his small business, Frankie is largely left to the care of their housekeeper, Berenice, who tries to provide as much true guidance to Frankie and what Frankie considers her problems, although Berenice has her own troubles looking after her wild foster brother, Honey Camden, her only surviving family. In addition, Frankie largely sees Berenice's advice as the rantings of a large, crazy Black woman. Frankie believes that she has finally found her place in life upon the return to town of her enlisted older brother Jarvis, who announces that he's about to marry a woman named Janice. Seeing the couple together, Frankie falls in love with "them" and believes she can be a "member" of "them" by leaving town with with immediately after the wedding, even wanting to change her name to Jasmine to feel even more connected to them. Two negative situations following the wedding could possibly put her on the right direction to truly finding her place in life. Written by Huggo See less
