ABOUT: LaVaughn is a fourteen-year-old girl living with her mother in public housing with great aspirations of attending college. She would be first person in her family to earn her college degree. LaVaughn's mother is a single parent working diligently to provide for her daughter and improve their living conditions. Knowing her mother's income will not be enough to facilitate her college career, LaVaughn assumes a job as a babysitter for two young children. Their mother, Jolly, was formerly homeless and orphaned; she has no understanding of the responsibilities that come with being a mother. LaVaughn attempts to help Jolly, nearly sacrificing her own aspirations of leaving poverty.
