In the 1970s, outside the town of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, Barbara Ann is thirteen, going into grade seven and starting a new school.
She wants what most other teenage girls want: the right hair, the right clothes, the right friends, the right boyfriend, and everything else that leads to love and happiness.
Innocence allows Barbara Ann to believe that it’s all easily within her grasp.
The only obstacle standing in her way is her over-controlling mother.
She must fight and push against boundaries to gain the freedom she wants.

Each step, a power struggle between mother and daughter.
When Barbara Ann finally meets a boy and believes all her dreams are coming true, her life shatters in ways she never saw coming.
Lost and confused, she tries regaining control, but instead keeps spiraling out of control.  Anxiety and depression leads to a nervous breakdown.
It is in the midst of all of this Barbara Ann learns the depths of her mother’s betrayal and the realization of just how much she’s lost and how she will never be that same
innocent girl again.

Length 215 pages.
