What It's All About
Norma Klein
For Bernie it isn't easy - she doesn't have the usual family life like her best friend, Jonah. First, there's Suzu. When Mom decides to adopt a Vietnamese orphan, Bernie is excited about having a baby sister. Only she didn't expect Suzu to treat her like a second mother. Then, there's her stepfather, Gabe. He and mom start fighting a lot and Gabe leaves. Maybe, Bernie things, it would be simpler to go and live with her father and his new wife in California. But love between people has a lot to do with what it's all about - and that Bernie knows she has with Mom and Suzu.
