Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even

Laura Chartoff is a teenage girl in a large dysfunctional family. After her parents' divorce, her father, David, a rather flaky artist, has now accumulated three ex-wives, a 4-year-old daughter, Jessie (with fourth wife Barbara, one of the wives Laura actually liked), and is living with Stephanie – who is pregnant with his twins. Laura's mother, Melinda, had her own two-day marriage and is now married to her third husband, Keith Powers.
