But she finds the adult world of earning wages and paying rent includes racism, sexual harassment and abuse- with the daily fear of being found out as an underaged illegal alien and sent back to a place she no longer considers home. Was it ever supposed to be this weird? 'It is nought but the fear of woman's heart,
