Ryan Hart and her family are back in another instalment of stories about a Black girl finding her way and her voice as she grows through change and challenges.

In this book, Ryan finds herself waiting on lots of things -- like for her new sister to be born healthy, for her new recipes to turn out right, for that summer camp trip to go better than she fears!
