Cyd Charisse (named after the famous dancer and actress) has just gotten kicked out of boarding school, and is having trouble settling back in with her uptight family, and her boyfriend, Shrimp, suddenly wants his space. So her parents agree to send her across the country to New York City to visit with "Frank real-dad," who she's only seen once, and who gave her her beloved ragdoll christened "Gingerbread." This heartwarming story tells about true family values, no matter how spread out your family is.
