About the book

Crystal

Sixteen-year-old Crystal knows she's blessed.


She is drop-dead gorgeous and in the beginning stages of a glamorous career as a model in New York City. Yet as chauffeured cars whisk her from Brooklyn to Manhattan studios, she questions whether the excitement of high fashion is worth losing touch with her neighborhood.


At first, modeling is exciting. But soon, her life becomes less and less about her, and more and more about her body. Pushy photographers demand that she pose in revealing swimsuits and project a sultry maturity foreign to her sixteen years.


Behind the cameras, her grades at DuBois High slip, and late nights strain her close bond with her best friend Pat. While an older model cautions her about how ruthlessly the industry discards young girls, Crystal doubts whether pleasing ambitious agents is worth compromising her father's trust.


Crystal wonders if her new life is worth giving up everything -- her friends, her beliefs, and her self-respect.

  • Coming of Age: An arranged publicity date at Sharo’s nightclub with teen television star Sean Farrell reveals the artificial games behind celebrity headlines.
  • Industry Pressures: Producer Joe Sidney promises a major film role in Europe, but his manipulative auditions and backstage demands reveal the predatory side of show business.
  • Mental Health Themes: When older model Rowena spirals into depression after losing accounts, Crystal witnesses firsthand how quickly the fashion world abandons vulnerable young women.
  • Also by This Author: Monster, Scorpions and Lockdown.
