"Mâonica and Hannah are school kids in the big city. Together, they have formed the Homesick Club, since they are both from far away ...

The girls ask Miss Shelby to join their club, then Mâonica decides she will bring a surprise for show and tell--a surprise that brings Miss Shelby close to tears"--
