A warm, hopeful coming-of-age story about a plus-size teen finding her voice and self-worth through fashion design while navigating bullying and insecurity.

Lenore Miller’s size has always earned her teases and jeers in her school’s hallways, but this clothes-loving teenager is about to set the world on fire with her own line of inclusive fashion designs.
