Best-selling adult author Adriana Trigiani finally shares her superb story-telling skills with a teen audience in this funny, touching coming of age tale. When Brooklyn babe Viola begins at all girl boarding school in South Bend, Indiana, she feels like she has landed on a whole different planet. Viola terribly misses her best friend, Andrew, and she finds it deeply disturbing that her three new roommates actually seem to enjoy the place. Viola decides to seek refuge from it all by concentrating on filming her experiences, and documenting her misery. As the year progresses, however, Viola discovers that her first impressions of the school, and her roommates, may not be quite accurate. Will Viola put the camera down long enough to get a better view of her life?
