What evidence is there that Josie is caught between two cultures?

Josie feels like an outsider in her Italian community. As a second-generation Italian-Australian, a person of Italian descent who was born in Australia but whose grandparents were born in Italy, she thinks her community doesn’t completely accept her. Furthermore, Josie being the product of a teenage pregnancy and her mother having her out of wedlock further distance her from the traditional and conservative Italian community. It doesn’t help that Josie is an independent, free-spirited, and free-thinking young woman who shirks the expectations of her community.
