Dang, talk about a fork on the road type of situation here... I thought this was a neat story, the protagonist is a really swell thespian in my book, she is a delight to see the sweet naivatte behind her eyes to the stark contradistinction of the cold harsh world in her bleak reality; what started off as a sweet impulse on the wings of romance turned out to be a bathos ridden sorry tale converging on the roads to all human degradation, I also thought the mom character was really sweet, she was nice and caring in her own way.
