Dawn stares at herself in the mirror and decides everything needs to change. Her hair, her makeup, her clothes, even the way she acts around people. She wants a completely different image. Dawn throws herself into the transformation, experimenting with new looks and trying on different personalities like outfits. But as she becomes this new version of herself, doubt creeps in. Will her friends recognize her anymore? Will they still want to be around this different Dawn? Even more troubling, she wonders what Lewis will think when he sees her. Lewis knows her through their letters, and she has been honest with him about who she is. Now she faces a choice between the person she thought she wanted to become and the person her friends and Lewis already care about.
