An adolescent clipping pictures from magazines. Miranda is dreaming that someday she might share the glamorous adventures of the beautiful women in those glossy pages - a dream that in her case came true. Impatient with her school lessons, she surprises her teachers again and again by how much she has read - and how deeply she has reflected. Home calls to her, but she must find her own way. When she stumbles or suffers, she blames no one but herself. She is a rebel with a loving heart.
