A poetic series about the cycle of a young woman's life. It travels with humour and melancholy from her birth through her childhood into her maturity, love and eros, and culminates in the birth of her own child, addressing many universal female experiences by weaving together pictures of different children, girls and young women into a semi-fictional composite character.

The frames are drawn from ten years of intimate work in nurseries, toy-strewn houses of strung-out families, rave clubs going wild, beds of lovers, acts of sex, and hospital rooms where new souls come bloodily into the world. Raw, lyrical and honest, they are full of humour, deep reflection and the intense worry that countless young girls know. As the anxious, curious, doubting girl works through the intricacies of growing up towards the moment when she becomes a mother, she relentlessly asks the question of the title.
