Francesca starts her first year at an all-boys' school that has decided to accept 30 girls. Francesca is not comfortable with the guys or any of the "misfit" girls from her old school but in the end she realizes her snobby friends from her old school supressed her real personality. Even though school starts to get better for her as she bonds with the girls and even some of the unusaul guys, her mother's deep depression is affecting her whole family. Her father's choice to ignore the problem makes Francesca very angry and she lashes out at him with powerful statements.
