in her own community. Alicia’s relationship with men, however, is a darker twist to the idea that the power of context ignites personal choice. Bell reveals on pages 39 and 40 that Alicia’s father was physically abusive and also abused drugs. When Alicia was a child, he molested her. And it is revealed that at age 21, she was raped.
