A new ally and lover, Dr. John Thomas, joins her effort to rescue Roxanne, a teen prostitute, from the clutches of the murderous Major Tom. To succeed, Holly must break all reliance on the adults in her family and establish relationships with new allies who can support her in her quest. Like all young women, she must also explore her body and mind as she works hard to acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to achieve a fair share of happiness.
