Sayné is an eight-year-old girl who must write a short story about her family for a school assignment. As she writes, she makes discoveries about her family members including her mom, dad, as well as her mom’s girlfriend. Although her mother’s partner has been around for a long time, Sayné begins to understand how her family is different than others and wants to ensure that she isn’t treated differently because of that.
