Full Bloom
by Suzanne Bradbeer

Something is different about teenage Phoebe when she returns from her summer vacation in Italy.

Suddenly, she can't bear society's obsession with youth and beauty.

She becomes reckless -- skipping school, and going out with guys she barely knows.

Her fragile self-image is further shaken by her family and friends' constant commentary on her appearance, her neighbor's plans for plastic surgery, and her father's recent move to live with a much-younger mistress.

When Phoebe's behavior takes a drastic turn, it's up to those she loves most to save her from herself before it's too late.
