Maria doesn't know what to make of the holidays in Chicago of 1994 and she hasn't been here long enough to know that American culture isn't just about working hard, but also playing hard. Andriy has always been taught to preserve his Ukrainian heritage despite him and his parents never being able to go there. He's starting to question why he should hold onto his culture until he begins to teach Maria's younger brother at his Ukrainian Youth Organization. Both grew up in different environments, but they share a love for their culture.

Growing Pains
In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.Complete
