It all starts when six kids have to meet for a weekly chat--by themselves, with no adults to listen in. There, in the room they soon dub the ARTT Room (short for "A Room to Talk"), they discover it's safe to talk about what's bothering them--everything from Esteban's father's deportation and Haley's father's incarceration to Amari's fears of racial profiling and Ashton's adjustment to his changing family fortunes. When the six are together, they can express the feelings and fears they have to hide from the rest of the world. And together, they can grow braver and more ready for the rest of their lives.


一切始於六個孩子在無大人監督的情況下每週聊天。很快地，他們進入ARTT "聊天室"，發現他們可以很安全地談論困擾他們的一切-從埃斯特班的父親被驅逐出境，海利的父親被監禁，到阿瑪里對種族歧視的恐懼，以及艾希頓要適應不斷變化的家庭命運。 當六個人在一起時，他們可以表達他們必須躲避世界的感受和恐懼。 在一起，他們可以變得更加勇敢，並為餘生做好準備。
