Sparkle

This tale is based on the young author's life experiences. Like most teens, Diamond's life is full of teenage angst—so much to look forward to, yet so much to fear. But, her existence is different from her peers. After overcoming an enormous struggle that nearly took her life at six years old, Diamond finally believes that things are looking up. As she looks forward to her adolescence filled with boyfriends, dances, high school, and friends, circumstances force her back into the nightmare that trapped her so long ago. To top it off, she is also bullied! Then, Nuyorican Knockout (the Big Booty Superhero) enters the scene. Can she save the day? How does Diamond get through it all? Will she be able to sparkle on?
