Overview

An honest, uplifting story about learning to live in the body you're born with. When seventeen-year-old Marcella Boucher asks Lou Duncan to her high school's ""reverse prom"" she expects a few snickers. After all, no one else knows that outside school the star football player has a thing for the girl everyone calls Moocella. However, she could never have anticipated the splashy aftermath of her very public display of affection. Or how it would send her to the edge of despair. But life has a way of putting exactly what, and who, you need in front of you at the right time...you just need to be brave enough to accept them.
