Josephine Morse and her mother need money more than anything! Josephine's mother is a writer, but her work is so irregular that the family is frequently behind on their bills. The Morses reach a crisis when Jess is denied additional credit at the grocer, and on the same day, the landlord unfeelingly announces a rental increase.
Jess is excited when she learns of the M.O.R.'s contest—the girl who submits the best play will win a prize of $200! What that money would mean! Jess works hard on her play and waits nervously, hardly daring to hope that she has a chance at the prize.
