For Vicki, it's a chance to grow up, shine in the big time, and maybe even get a scholarship so she won't end up stuck in a dead-end job like her mother.For Elizabeth, it means time to distance herself from the suffocating relationship she has with her boyfriend.For Faith, it's a way to forget the past and try to be just a normal teenager.Weeks of work and play wear on their relationships: What do they expect of each other? What do they expect of themselves? Goodreads: 3.20 Grade level ‏ : ‎ 7 - 9 Paperback, 1992
