She tries cutting back; she even tries making more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something…just a little something… Finally, a story arise that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of event that will transform her life—and the lives of those around her—forever.
