Willa hates this plan. She refuses to accept Ruby as a sister. She refuses to welcome this new family arrangement. She refuses to go along quietly with changes she never asked for. Her father and Ruby's mom think everything will work out smoothly. Willa knows better. She will fight these unwanted changes with everything she has. The adults can make their plans, but Willa has plans of her own.
