To the Stars

[ad_1]

For years now, Iris
Deerborne has been mocked and ridiculed by the residents of her small town
because she has a weak bladder. “Stinky Drawers,” they call her. She’s been to
the doctor multiple times, but physically, there’s nothing wrong with her: It’s
all psychosomatic.

Her parents have all but
given up on her ever having a normal life (not that her mother doesn’t try to
force it to happen). And given a choice, Iris would rather just disappear. But
that all changes when Maggie Richmond moves to town.

Maggie takes a liking to
Iris and decides to help her fit in better with their classmates. Shockingly,
it doesn’t take much. A new makeover and some well-crafted lies about Iris
being chosen as a model for a national magazine and suddenly everything’s
coming up roses—er, irises.

Iris knows her popularity
won’t last forever. You can change your hair and your clothes, but deep down,
you’re still going to be the same person you’ve always been. But her newfound
confidence has also helped with her incontinence, so she’s OK with that.

Unfortunately, Maggie
isn’t. She doesn’t just want to fit in, she needs to. Not being
able to fit in is why her parents brought her here to begin with—to start over
fresh. But Iris is right: Changing your outward appearance won’t change who you
are on the inside.
