This is the story of Sammi Morgan and her neighbors, also known as her best friends, the Christians. Sam's mom gets a promotion which makes the family move to France, but Sam doesn't want to go. She has two more years left of high school and doesn't wanna miss them. When her parents tell her that she doesn't need to go to Paris and that she can stay home, she is told that she has to stay with the Christians. Sam agrees and this is their story. They go through ups and downs but everyone survives... though did I mention that the Christians are a family of eight boys?
