Angelica is a teenager that is about to embark on the most difficult conversation she has ever had with her family, the coming out conversation. She has known for as long as she can remember that she didn't like boys but her Catholic upbringing also taught her that she was supposed to. Conflicted with who she was and who she was supposed to be she decided to keep her sexuality a secret only talking about it to her small group of LBGTQIA+ friends that she had at school. But after sharing how she had decided to come out with her friends, she also decided that now was the time. She was months away from graduating and she didn't want to start her life in the military, which is also a part of her life that she has to share, without being honest. Her fear was not in telling her three older brothers or even her father, just in telling her mother who always expressed to her that being a wife to her husband and a mother to her children were two jobs she had to accomplish. In this moment she had to tell her mother that neither one of those that she wanted to do. After sharing with her brothers and father who were very accepting, she found the strength to tell her mother.

Her fear was that her mother would disown her as some of her friends had said their parents said they would do if they, "ever had a gay kid." But she took a deep breath, sat with her mom and told her deciding that being who she was meant to be was the best way to celebrate the woman that her parents had raised. A coming-of-age story that reminds us how very hard it is for teenager to find themselves, then when they do the challenge of sharing that discovery with the world.
