Little red lies

The war is over, but for 13-year-old Rachel, the battle has just begun. Putting childhood behind her, she knows what she wants: to prove she has acting talent worthy of the school drama club, and what she doesn't want: to fall for someone. Worries about her veteran brother's failing health and repugnance at her mother's unexpected and unwanted pregnancy drive her to seek solace from a seemingly sympathetic, but self-serving teacher. The lies she tells herself hoping to reach solutions to the problems complicating her life merely function to make matters worse.

  • "The war is over, but for thirteen-year-old Rachel, the battle has just begun. Putting childhood behind her, she knows what she wants - to prove she has acting talent worthy of the school drama club, and what she doesn't want - to romantically fall for someone completely inappropriate. Worries about her veteran brother's failing health and repugnance at her mother's unexpected and unwanted pregnancy drive her to seek solace from a seemingly sympathetic, but self-serving teacher. The lies she tells herself hoping to reach solutions to the problems complicating her life merely function to make matters worse. Ultimately, she finds a way to come to terms with life as it reaches an end and life as it begins."

  • "Thirteen-year-old Rachel deals with her traumatized veteran brother's return from service in World War Two and his subsequent failing health, while a teacher offers sympathy that may be more self-serving than she realizes."@en
