Kate wants to be an actor, but when she looks in the mirror, she doesn't like what she sees.

She longs to be like Ashleigh Monahan, who has the perfect looks for the lead part in the school musical. And Ashleigh has talent.

The Casting Dilemma by Lynne Stringer explores the conflicts and insecurities on Kate's journey to pursuing her acting dreams.
