Deborah Drapper is thirteen years old, one of eleven siblings raised in a strictly religious household that has kept her away from television, pop music, and most of the outside world her peers take for granted. The film follows her over a single summer as her parents let her step into public life for the first time, taking her faith and her preaching to strangers who have never met anyone like her. Cameras catch her rehearsing what she wants to say, meeting people who push back on her beliefs, and reporting home to parents who are watching to see how much of the world she can handle. She talks about wanting a future beyond the community she was born into, even as she defends the rules that shaped her. The film stays close to her reactions rather than passing judgment on her upbringing, watching a girl test the difference between what she has been taught and what she is starting to decide for herself.
