Plot

Eight-year-old Roberta "Bobby" Carter catches her mother Joan as she kisses a man who is not her father in a park. She is embarrassed because her friends are present and recognize her mother. Bobby's father Ray is away on a business trip, but he returns suddenly, bringing a small toy piano as a gift to Bobby. Joan tries to collect enough courage to tell her husband about her affair, but she is unable to confess. Bobby is bullied for her mother's antics and asks God to force her parents to fall in love again. Unaware of her daughter's discovery, Joan continues to see her lover, Michael Benton.
