And if Alice ever needed friends, she needs them now. Sheβs got a secret e-mail admirer sheβs not sure how to handle. Her brother, Lester, is plunging headlong into a risky romance with a professor. And her new friend, Faith, seems unable to break free of an abusive relationship with her boyfriend. Itβs not simple being simply Alice.
