Why? Why? Why? Mara's reflection in the mirror assures her she is a pretty, shapely girl. Of course her shop coveralls disguise the shapely part, but there's nothing she can do, nothing she wants to do, about being a girl.
Nobody seems to approve of her goals, her choices, her self! Her path is filled with roadblocks: hostile teachers, zero social life, a friend's pregnancy. Mara has a great big headache. How is she going to recharge her batteries and hold true to her course?
