Only able to visit on weekends, India must share her Dad with his new partner Richard. Her best friend at school is a boy and it is becoming hard to explain to people that Colby is just a friend. India is also adopted and she longs to meet her Chinese birth mother. To top it off there is an embarrasing plaster breast hanging on the wall as a reminder of her mother's battle with cancer.
