When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost.

By spending a day in each other’s shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another’s struggles, and realize the immeasurable love that bonds a mother and daughter. With great songs like, “One More Day”, “Parents Lie!” and “No More Fear”, FREAKY FRIDAY will make you laugh till you cry and maybe, cry till you laugh!
