Invisible Girl by Mary Hanlon Stone
When poor Boston girl Stephanie is abandoned by
her abusive mother and taken in by Annie’s Beverly Hills family, she feels anything but home. Her dark complexion and accent stick out like a sore thumb in the golden-hued world of blondes and extravagance.These are girls who seem to live life in fastforward,
while Stephanie is stuck on pause. Yet when a new rival moves to town, threatening Annie’s
queen-bee status, Stephanie finds herself taking
sides in a battle she never even knew existed,
and that feeling invisible is a wound that can only be by standing up for who she is.
