small
peculiarity,
Murphy.
Murphy
is
a
three-foot-tall
pink
elephant
stuffed
animal
that
Bethany
insists
on
carrying
with
her
everywhere
she
goes,
much

her
domineering
older
sister,
Sam,
and
her
high-strung
psychologist.
While
Sam
works
diligently
to
cure
Bethany
of
her
vice,
she
fails
to
recognize
the
missed
opportunities
and
faults in her own life.
