As Cool as I Am
Lucy, sixteen years old, is a tomboy. Although she is good with her dad, she can be separated from him often for several months when he travels to Canada. She is a good friend with her mother and takes care of the household. She is sensitive to her sexuality as well as her family’s not so stable dynamics. Her best friend Kenny becomes her partner and she begins to see that the marriage between her parents is less solid than she thought. Her father’s long absences from her family is not normal, and her mother doesn’t pine as deeply for her father. –Girish
