Liz, her mother, promised to get her out of there as soon as she got settled in California. But it was Tallahassee, not Liz, who got settled...in a place where finding out about her mother's past helped her figure out her own future. Zusammenfassung “Out of sight! out of mind.” That’s what Tallahassee Higgins’s mother! Liz! always says about her ex-boyfriends. But now that Tallahassee has been sent to live with her aunt and uncle in Maryland so Liz can start a movie career in California! the words are taking on new meaning. Aunt Thelma says that Liz is gone for good! but Talley is sure her mother will come for her.
