She buys her clothes at Andy's Cheapies, watches indie films at the Angelika, and wouldn't be caught dead on a hayride. But when her father gets sick and Matisse's parents decide to leave Man-hattan for a small town in upstate New York, her perfect world crumbles. As Matisse trudges through life in Prague, she dreams of waking up in her apartment on West 78<small>^th</small> Street with a father who's well enough to walk with her in Central Park and a mother who doesn't pretend that everything is okay. When rumors surround Matisse at school and her father's symptoms worsen, Matisse realizes that the friends she's making in Prague are the kind you can count on. They help Matisse find the strength to reach out to her father, who may not be as far from her as she thought. And one particular farm boy shows Matisse that country living is a lot more magical than she ever imagined. </p> 2294631 1 6 2008 Alive and Well in Prague, New York total:124|5:43|4:25|3:43|2:11|1:2| 124 468 200 44 3 1 false false Fri Apr 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 13:40:40 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 10:45:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sun Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 12:51:08 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 18:44:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Mar 27 17:52:50 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 01 15:59:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Fri Apr 24 10:38:10 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 12:04:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Thu May 15 10:33:16 -0700 2008 Thu May 15 10:34:08 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jan 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 29 11:35:44 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 16 15:14:26 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Oct 07 03:12:08 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 03:36:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Apr 29 01:12:05 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 01:12:20 -0700 2008
