Description
Crystal is beautiful. She is an up-and-coming model-and she loves it. With Mama pushing her and her tough-as-nails agent selling her, Crystal knows she can be a superstar. But when the dark side of the glamorous modeling world threatens to envelop her, Crystal must decide on her own what she wants more-to be a beautiful model, or to be herself. Originally published in 1987 and now fully updated, Crystal is a brave and honest exploration of one girl's struggle for self-worth and integrity.
