She finishes her first book, is featured in a documentary on the subject, and starts speaking across the country.But change proves hard to affect.

One disappointment after another finds Lisa at the bottom of her personal journey, eking out an existence in a city where she has no friends and ever-dwindling resources. Ultimately, she discovers her true passion and risks everything to make her dreams come true...
