Description

Thirteen-year-old Vanessa Martin's life is a far cry from the glamour of the Miss America stage. In 1983, she struggles to come to terms with her mother's absence and her own battle with self-confidence. But when a new teacher at school coordinates a beauty pageant, Vanessa is convinced to enter, forcing her to confront her own worth beyond the scores of her talent performance. As Vanessa navigates this unfamiliar world, she begins to see that her true beauty lies not in external validation but in embracing her own strengths and weaknesses. With each step, she inches closer to self-acceptance and a deeper understanding of what it means to be herself. A powerful semi-autobiographical debut novel, Like Vanessa explores the complexities of growing up and finding one's place in the world.
