It took 4 years for Clara to rebound, but rebound she did. She finished her high school and received training as a beautician. She now has her own business and is known for her empathic and supportive attitude toward her customers. She drives a flashy new pick-up truck and enjoys country line dancing. She dates a gentleman who treats her with respect and caring. She describes this relationship as being very different: "He's not what I used to call good-looking. But now, what looks good to me is different from what I used to think was good.
