Synopsis

A Little Before Seven In The Morning, Stacey Wakes To The Police Pounding On Her Door. They Search Her Home And Seize Her Computer And Her Phone, Telling Her They're Looking For Illegal Digital Material. Left To Unravel What's Happened, Stacey Must Find A Way To Take Back The Privacy And Freedom She Feels She Has Lost. Luckily, She Has Her Friends. Smart And Tough And Almost Terrifyingly Open, Stacey And Her Circle Are Uncommonly Free Of Biases And Boundaries, But This Incident Reveals How They Are Still Susceptible To Society's Traps. Navigating Her Way Through Friendship, Love, And Sex, Stacey Strives To Restore Her Self-confidence And To Actualize The Most Authentic Way To Live Her Life -- One That Acknowledges Both Her Power And Her Vulnerability, Her Joy And Her Fear. All I Ask Is A Bold And Bracing Exploration Of What It's Like To Be Young In A Time When Everything And Nothing Seems Possible. With A Playwright's Ear For Dialogue And A Wry, Delicate Confidence, Eva Crocker Writes With A Compassionate But Unsentimental Eye On Human Nature That Perfectly Captures The Pitfalls Of Relying On The People You Love.
