Pink in the Mirror — A.M. Leibowitz

Before, Barbara's goal was to win the county drag race. Now all she wants is to win Dottie's heart.

By day, Barbara works as an assistant seamstress. By night, she's a drag racer preparing for the biggest local event of the summer. Her only hope to make it out of town is to win the race and spend a couple of years in junior college. If she can put him off long enough, she can gently let down the polite young man with whom she's keeping up appearances.

What Barbara hasn't counted on is how drawn she is to vibrant, gorgeous Dottie, the woman who comes to watch them prepare for the race. A single evening with Dottie convinces Barbara she'll never be happy with an artificial life. Now she'll have to make a decision about what she wants before it's too late.
