despite the absence of her father and the fact her mother constantly works, camille has a happy adolescence. she takes on many responsibilities around the house and begins cooking for herself and her sister at the age of eight. she clearly has a talent when it comes to cooking. she can bake pies, stews, steaks, and pastas, as well as intricate recipes that seasoned cooks can't master. camille knows from an early age that she wants to become a chef when she is older. her little sister becomes the designated guinea pig for her new recipes. cara and camille are attached at the side and look out for one another. camille becomes a second mother to cara and cara follows camilla around like a mother goose. the older italian women in town offer to babysit for vera but she always declines, stating that "my girls will learn to be strong and independent, they take care of themselves."

school is a social playground for camille. she is a popular girl who mingles with many different types of people. camille develops early which causes her to be the center of attention when it comes to guys. she gets her first boyfriend when she is eleven and her first kiss at twelve. other girls resent cam due to her beauty, brains, and vivacious attitude. she is every parent's dream. though cam gives in to the temptation of sex at age sixteen, she vows to forever stay away from drugs. when other kids are smoking marijuana in their basements, she is studying or going on dates. though she is quick to experiment and put out sexually, she has her own set of morals. camille graduates from her st. lorenza preparatory with the title of salutatorian. this girl has all the potential in the world, and a big decision as to what to do with it.

the decision is easy. camille decides to become a chef and applies for culinary school in france. she doubts herself and believes she will never get in. three weeks later, a letter arrives that states camille has been accepted to culinary school in nice, france. it is a three year school that teaches everything needed to become a sous chef. it is a dream come true. camille flies off to france and leaves st. lorenza behind. she will miss everything and everyone, but especially her little sister. cam hopes the three years will fly by.

culinary school is more challenging than camille ever imagined. by the end of her first year, cam doesn't know how she will ever make it through the next two years. it is hard work, but cam makes it. camille graduates from culinary school and retreats back to st. lorenza. she find a job as a sous chef at giuseppe restaurant and quickly rents an apartment.
