    1st printing. Story and art by Lizzy Stewart. Merging the personal and the political, observation and contemplation, the author examines what her life is and wonders what it should be; what is expected of a thirty year old woman by society, by family and friends and by herself.

It's a time for self-reflection, for observing others and for imagining how we appear to them. What is expected of a person of our age, sex, and race, and how should that influence what we do and how we feel about ourselves? Softcover, 6-in. x 8-in., 56 pages, full color. Cover price $12.99.
