The story of Lacey is a sweet and a rather different story. Set in the sixties, it is about a typical, frog- loving, mud-squishing, girl-teasing boy, and his distinctively feminine older sister, along with their delicate mother. Their rancorous relationship polarizes their home until the clash of the two genders comes to an end, when, after an ill-conceived bet, Christine tricks her younger rambunctious sibling into becoming the sweet little sister she had so desperately wanted all her life.
