Fade to Pink is the story of a physicist single father raising his adolescent daughter.
The story begins when Heather is eleven and her mother moves out. A year later, Heather is immersed in shadows. She dresses in oversized dark clothes, wears black and white makeup, worships her goth-rock idol, and begins pulling out her hair. When a boy at school tells her she’s fat, she cuts his face with her fingernails.
A psychologist tells them they are pioneers and not to expect their house to be normal. It’s not. They are an absent-minded physics professor and a band-geek, a swinging bachelor and his tolerant, head-shaking daughter; they are also the overweight obsessive-compulsive adolescent and her hand-wringing paranoid father. But underneath the roles and rebellion, they are just Heather and Ransom growing up together in Texas. When she walks across the stage at the Fort Worth Convention Center and collects her diploma, he graduates too. There are no more bald patches on her head and she’s wearing a pink skirt. Pink! If you’d told him the day he found the list of “reasons to kill myself” on her bedroom floor that Heather would wear a pink skirt to her high school graduation, he’d have laughed and defended her, “Nah. We wear black.”
