Sannheten om Jane
Jane's mom assumes her daughter is just like every other sixteen-year-old girl- a little confused about growing up, but a great kid at heart. Jane figures her mom is just like any other mom - a little too protective, but only because she loves her. Both of them figure they've got a good relationship, and they're right- until Jane meets the new girl at school and falls madly in love with her. Suddenly everyone's assumptions are in question. Jane's having trouble figuring out how to cope with realizing she's a lesbian, her classmates are having trouble treating her like a human being, and her refuses to have anything to do with Jane's "experiment." The trouble is, this is not just a phase. Jane knows she's gay. If her mom can't or won't accept that fact, their relationship could be broken forever. Through the help of new friends and a lot of soul searching, Jane learns to accept herself and her sexuality. Now the challenge is finding a way to help her mom remember how much she loves her daughter.
