This book depicts the life of a teenage girl in the last year of school with all of its problems: graduation, parting with life long friends, making a career choice and embarking on the new life that comes with it. Her life is typical of a teenager living in present day Ukraine. The difficult economic situation has led to her parents' divorce. To provide an acceptable standard of living, her mother has been forced to work abroad as a caregiver to an elderly woman. That has left our teenager in the care of her maternal grandmother.
