—
16-year-old Charlotte’s beautiful mother is dead. Turning to the story of Helen of Troy for comfort, Charlotte becomes convinced that beauty, fame, and the desire of others can help reconcile her with her mother’s memory and punish the world that took her away in the first place. Getting beauty tips from her popular friend, seeking career advice on how to be a !&#$! star from her guidance counselor, and searching for love from the football jock that barely even knows she exists, Charlotte searches in fantasy for what she cannot find in reality—destroying the life of the only friend she may have had in the process. But in the depths of pain, she comes to discover an unexpected grace.
