Audri is a creative high school schemer. She usually devises inventive ways to prevent or evade problems. But she isn't able to avoid her mother discovering the emergent eating disorder and instituting mandatory sessions with a counselor and Mayan Cib. One complication Audri didn't foresee is the development of unexpected skills through her visits, some of which she did not know were possible. Audri develops inner resources that change her relationships with her classmates, her family, and most of all herself. In the end, she gains the gift of a lifetime that she didn't even know existed in the beginning.
