Alex is the adolescent, middle daughter among five children. She is responsible for her two younger sisters in the summer, harassed by her older brother, and overshadowed by her attractive teenage sister. Father is not much of a talker and Mother is occupied with work, exercise and “just for herself” time. Alex is trying to carve out some private time from her caretaker schedule to enter an art contest. If she wins, she is sure her real personality will no longer be invisible to her family and she will earn their attention and respect.

A radio program that Alex listens to during her quiet moments of drawing deals with self-esteem, relationships and understanding. It sets her to thinking introspectively, evaluating rather than moaning, trying alternate behaviors to affect change. Alex finally does successfully communicate with her family.

Kristi Hall is a resident of Iowa.
