CONFLICT:Lia faces a tough character vs. self conflict. Grieving her mother, she admits, "I'd feel a kind of dull ache in my chest, a missing-Mom ache" (23). Without her mom, she feels totally alone. Feeling like a late bloomer, Lia tells white lies during a game just to fit in with her peers. By the end of the story, she overcomes this internal isolation when she accepts herself.
