begin.The second story is less about growing up and more about growing out. Growing
out of old friendships, growing out of your skin and growing out of who you
thought you wanted to be.Adele is dying to escape Bartow, FL. Driven by the promise of excitement, she moves to New York, leaving

Adele. Working at a local retirement home, Sylvia, an elderly vixen, takes interest in her and she discovers new life
in her old town.The prologue and feature are connected by the characters common discovery of
the American Dilemma: the tear between longing for the past and the desire to
explore.
