Parenting kids through fifth-grade crushes should be pretty simple, right? A mom and her two best friends are about to find out.
Dawn feels very lucky. Her daughter Kayli is a solid student, has good friends, and is a leader on the basketball court. So when a supposedly innocent crush starts chipping away at Kayli's self-esteem, Dawn struggles with what to do. Although her mom friends encourage her to intervene, Dawn hesitates. She's inserted herself into Kayli's social dynamics in the past, and it's jeopardized their close mother-daughter relationship. But when she tries letting Kayli handle the precarious relationship on her own, the problems worsen and Kayli's confidence plummets. As Dawn's heart breaks watching her daughter shrink into a meeker version of her former self, a memory from her own past resurfaces. Dawn finally realizes she must reclaim her own voice in order to prevent Kayli from losing hers.
