Janiece gets an education in just three short months.  In October she learns tolerance from her father’s new helper Jay Sims.  In November she learns to forgive her parents for being human.  In December she learns patience from Doug Sherman when he finally kisses her for the first time on Christmas day. 

Just as the seasons change, so does Janiece.  She changes from a silly girl to a teenager with real problems, and yet, she finds a way to deal with each one of them.
