Sights

When Baby Girl and her beautiful mother flee her abusive father, they enjoy the perfect summer building a new life in their new hometown, reveling in their special bond. Each contributes to the family fortune -- Mama by designing lovely dresses and Baby Girl by sharing her gift of "sight" with the customers. But Baby Girl can't predict her own future, so when school starts at Cot High School, she's unprepared for the brutal cruelty of her new peers. She's not special to them, she's just different -- and in this new world, where looks count more than character, no one wants to be different. Facing the gradual erosion of her confidence, Baby Girl learns to look inside -- not to see the future, but to discover the strength to be true to herself.Vance, Susanna is the author of 'Sights', published 2002 under ISBN 9780606241519 and ISBN 0606241515.
