Twelve-year-old Tru has two wishes--to host her own TV show and find a cure for her twin brother Eddie who is mentally disabled from a lack of oxygen in the birth canal. She writes about her ideas and life with Eddie and her mother in her computer journal. She enters a local cable TV competition to host a teen variety show. Tru expresses honestly her love, concern, resentment, and hopes about Eddie.
