Jane loves cooking with her mother  singing in her church choir  and enjoying her family's

glad when she lands a summer job as a nanny for the daughter of a local doctor. A respectable
job  Mary Jane's mother says. In a respectable house. The house may look respectable on the
outside  but inside it's a literal and figurative mess: clutter on every surface  Impeachment:

mention group therapy). Caught between the lifestyle she's always known and the future she's
only just realized is possible  Mary Jane will arrive at September with a new idea about what
she wants out of life  and what kind of person she's going to be.
