Natalie Page follows a spirited and tomboyish sixteen-year-old girl as she navigates the complexities of life after moving from her small hometown to live with her relatives in New York City. The narrative explores themes of family, identity, and the struggle between personal desires and societal expectations, particularly for young women. The opening introduces Natalie in a reflective mood as she recalls poignant moments from her childhood, particularly surrounding the loss of her mother. As she transfers to her uncle s home, it is clear she possesses a free-spirited nature that leads her into trouble, such as when she decides to bicycle down courthouse steps. As the first chapter unfolds, we find her wrestling with impending changes and the pressure of conformity symbolized by her family s expectations for her future. Natalie s internal conflict is compounded by her aunt s intentions to polish her rough edges and prepare her for a more refined life, setting the stage for the adventures and challenges she will face in her new urban environment.
