They try to think of ways to make Grandma and Grandpa stay together, but their efforts seem hopeless. As the days of summer pass, Nora is in despair. Change is hard, and she doesn't like it.
Then, during a special visit to her grandparents' house, Nora discovers that honesty and love can carry one through even the most difficult changes.

Sisters Jo-Jo and Nora are shocked when their grandparents announce they are divorcing.
