Sweet Virginia is a great depiction of a woman who has lost her motivation and direction in life (or may be suffering from mental illness), by allowing her husband and others to over shadow her. She is reaching for something unattainable because TV dictates it is so, and she can't get that out of her head. I enjoyed this story, but was confused by the ending. I guess it is up for interpretation. I feel like the character has been placed somewhere for "help" and while she accepts the reality of not having to be so perfect, she still struggles with it. Then again, I may be wrong. Interesting story with some very real truths. I enjoyed it.
