I'm so excited that I get to share my new YA Contemp. Book cover today!!!!!
This books means a lot to me. It was a very emotional project for me. Then again, I'm usually emotional when I write.
I feel like bullying is such a severe problem anymore. Somehow, even though it's always been around, I feel like it's escalated in the last ten years.
I think it's important people take a stand against it. A human beings life is far too precious to be wasted on someone's else mean spirited nature.
If you want to check out Pride, you can add it on goodreads.
Beauty is only skin deep.
At age fifteen, Angela Dunne was plucked out of the crowd at her local mall by modeling agent, Olivia Lennox.
After fighting her way to the top, Angela is catapulted into the world of magazine covers, photo shoots, and runway shows. She’s traveling the globe, modeling for the best designers, and living the life most girls her age could only dream of.
And it doesn’t take long for Angela’s rising stardom to go to her head. Being beautiful has become her obsession and her image is all she ever thinks about. Her family is ashamed of her. Friends don’t know her anymore. People in general can’t stand to be in the same room with her. The new Angela, finds pleasure in belittling those who aren’t as fortunate as her in the beauty department and treats those who aren’t up to her standards like they are insignificant.
Suddenly, Angela’s modeling career comes to a halt after an accident backstage at a runway show. Now, Angela has to come to terms with the fact that she’s no longer beautiful on the outside. She’s a freak, a monster with a disfigured face. For someone who was once so beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside, it’s up to Angela to dig deep down within herself and discover what the real meaning of beauty is.
