Synopsis
Phoebe's parents didn't start "getting their act together" until they got a divorce when she was thirteen. Now that she's fourteen, she spends weekdays with her father in Woodstock, New York, and commutes on the bus called the Divorce Express for weekends with her mother in New York City. It seems that joint custody means more drastic changes for Phoebe than for either parent. She's got to deal with all the crises in their lives as well as in her own, and it's hard to become a part of things in Woodstock when she's not around on weekends. Her life improves when Phoebe becomes friends with Rosie, an offbeat Divorce Express regular-and Dave, her secret crush, asks her for a date. But just when Phoebe thinks she's got everything under control, her mother announces she's planning to marry a man Phoebe can't bear.
