It begins with lunches and continues with regular invitations to meals with Shebas seemingly close-knit family. But as Barbara and Shebas relationship develops, another does as well: Sheba has begun a passionate affair with an underage male student. When it comes to light and Sheba falls prey to the inevitable media circus, Barbara decides to write an account in her friends defensean account that reveals not only Shebas secrets but her own.What Was She Thinking? is a story of repression and passion, envy and complacence, friendship and loneliness.
