In 2000, Tricia traveled to Austria and toured the Mauthausen concentration camp. When she walked through the gates of the camp, her life was forever changed. Tricia shares stories about the liberation of the camp by American GIs and the stories of the men she canvassed the nation to discover and interview.

Using the metaphor of screenwriting, girls learn that they are in charge of writing the scripts for their lives. They are the protagonist; they have a supporting cast, but they ultimately make the decisions. Girls are led through an open dialogue of delving into their own inner struggles and outward relationships. They explore their relationships with self, friends, parents, enemies, guys, and God.
