After a year of trouble and turmoil, Nikki Sheridan's life seems to be settling down-until she discovers a dangerous secret!
A two-week trip to a music festival in the Blue Ridge Mountains with Aunt Marta and Carly sounded so great. But Carly, who's usually so fun to be with, is wrecking everything. She's moody and irritable all the time. Seems like every time I say something she bites my head off!
And that's not all. She's so obsessed with exercise, dieting, makeup, and clothes. Not to mention the "Ultimate Thirty-Day Makeover" from her fashion magazine. Even if I followed all those beauty tips, I still wouldn't turn heads the way Carly does.
Why can't she just accept herself the way she is? I'd love to look like her. Instead, I'm just a boring stick-in-the-mud. Lord, help me to be happy being me.
Nikki has always admired Carly's popularity, strong Christian faith, and great family. So when Carly suddenly becomes crabby and dissatisfied with herself, Nikki can't make any sense of it. Why is Carly so unhappy? And what can Nikki do to help?
Card catalog description
