?Loss?: Eight-year-old Pearl has just eaten a half-dozen "adult brownies" and begins a journey to find the Tooth Fairy she still believes in. By the time Pearl's uncle catches up to her, he must figure out a way to stitch together what fragile pieces of Pearl remain intact.
?Ignorance?: Ralph is a man of comfort with an impressive beard. With the revelation, "I don't know any black people,? Ralph and family embark on an outing away from the comfortable confines of their country club to find one.
