She baptized her daughter America to share the people faith in Big Brother – US Army was supposed to come and liberate the Eastern Europe subjugated by the Communist Regime. Stefania the yougest character is America’s teen-ager daughter, grown up in a petty bourgeois intellectualist atmosphere. These three women are blood related but they are separated through their attitudes. Preserving the old tradition Ana keeps the intangible rules and pushes America to respect these rules. Instead of this her daughter is eager to break the rules just for the sake of contradiction. Singing on this false aria America takes her own course but she fails. Her stubborness brings on her step sister’s suicide and this unexpected tragedy splits the family apart. Ana is afflicted with sorrow, Costea is disapointed to see his wife in agony and his daughter under suspicion of an abominable deed. Stefania comes to hate her mother and Petre becomes estranged from his wife. Not even Tudor, the object of America’s obsessive love cannot understand her plot. All these male characters seem to be strange mirrors which reflect a childish, egoistic, spoiled scatter brained woman who is obstinate to make herself unhappy and to provoke afflictions to other. This is not only tragedy which lead this family to live on the edge. The story seems to be adapted and characters moulded according with ups and dawns of the history scattered with major events of a century shaken violently by wars, revolutions, oppression, teasing of the social relations. When they were about to feel comfortable with changes and things were looking brighter all of a sudden went with the winds. In a way America is a symbol of her generation. She was born at the end of the second world was during the communist terror. Growing up like a spoiled princess far from troubles of the deprived people she rose in the world as an offshoot in a greenhouse. When she came to maturity she found herself exfoliated, without traditional and moral values. She couldn’t find who she was and she couldn’t know what she would like to do. The Revolution crushed the communist regime but broke through her life placing her on a new orbit. She became a wealthy and successful woman with the only difference that moneyed people are not happy because money is the root of all evil. America who lived in a conventional couple realized the falsity of her life and without a moment hesitation she thought about grab her happiness by force as well as she made her money. But all she could obtain was she charge herself with guilty of her sister’s death induced by her obsession for Tudor

She’s a kid who dyes her hair black and hates everyone but her best friend, Lincoln. To Starfire, who is from another planet, Mandy seems like an alien, like some distant, angry, light-years away moon. And ever since she walked out on her SATs, which her mom doesn’t know about, Mandy has been even more distant. Everyone thinks Mandy needs to go to college and become whoever you become at college, but Mandy has other plans. Or she did until she gets partnered with Claire, the person she intensely denies liking but definitely likes a lot, for a school project. When someone from Starfire’s past arrives, Mandy must make a choice: give up before the battle has even begun, or step into the unknown and risk everything to save her mom. I Am Not Starfire is a story about teenagers and/as aliens; about knowing where you come from and where you are going; and about mothers.
