She is sent back as her own Guidance Counselor, Ann Rutherford.''''Her younger self, already smoking, is skeptical of Ann's warnings and doesn't see the big deal. She blames much of her difficulties on her absent parents, who are often away traveling for extended periods of time and do not even leave a contact phone number. As Ann, who is running out of time, digs deeper into the family situation, she discovers a shocking truth.moreless
