From the author of the sizzling hit Hot Boyz comes a witty, sexy tale of one
woman's transformation from an ugly duckling to a swan-with lots of sass and
attitude!
Morgan Bayley has always had a distinctive look-big eyes, a wide smile.and an
unusually large nose. She still carries the emotional scars that come from
looking different, and it's definitely shaped her life. Morgan was seduced and
abandoned by the first boy who showed her any attention, and she had a
three-year old daughter, Corliss, by the time she graduated high school. At
that time, she also lost her loving, supportive mother, leaving her with a
domineering father who always seemed to favor her beautiful sister, Olympia.
Now, at thirty-nine, Morgan's come a long way-she has a fulfilling career, owns
a cozy home, and is close to Corliss, who's now a esthetician. However, she's
still carrying around her old, sorry self-image.and dating Jabril, who's as
curt and critical as her father.
But everything changes when her best girlfriend, Tyra, enters Morgan in a
makeover contest. At first, Morgan refuses to participate. Then she catches
Jabril chatting online at BeautifulGirls.com-and decides to go for it! During
the long, difficult plastic surgery process, Morgan starts surfing the Internet
herself, and soon "meets" a sweet guy named J.J. They don't exchange photos,
but Morgan tells him to watch her unveiling on BET. The makeover is a huge
success: the brand-new Morgan is beautiful and bold. However, her
transformation sets unexpected events in motion, uncovering long-buried
secrets, lies and emotions. Will Morgan's journey of self-discovery bring more
pain.or will she finally learn that true beauty comes from the inside out?
